Prosecco Cocktail with Balsamic Vinegar and Strawberries
Ingredients
8
overripe small strawberries or 4 larger berries
2tablespoonstraditional balsamic vinegar
1
750 ml bottle
chilled Prosecco
Instructions
Wash the strawberries without hulling them. If using large berries, halve them.
Line up four champagne flutes. Pour the vinegar to a depth 1⁄8 inch / 3 mm—about 3⁄4 teaspoon—into the bottom of each glass. Add a spoon of Prosecco and mix gently to temper the viscosity of the balsamic, allowing the vinegar to disperse more evenly.
Slowly slide in more Prosecco from the side of each flute, filling to within about 1 inch / 2.5 cm of the rim.
Gently squeeze the strawberries between your fingers to bruise them slightly and release some sugary juice. Drop a strawberry into each flute.
Serve the cocktails while still cold and refill when the time comes.
