This cocktail is fruity, refreshing and downright cheerful. Make a large batch of the strawberry puree mixture and then top with chilled, sparkling rosé (or regular Champagne) as needed for each drink.
3 large strawberries
1 Tbsp Runamok Wildflower Honey Infused Maple [1], Strawberry Rose Infused Maple [2], or Sugarmaker’s Cut pure maple syrup [3]
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 ice cubes
Chilled Sparkling rosé
A few drops Runamok Floral Bitters [4] (optional)
Put the strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and ice cubes in a blender. Puree until smooth and ice is chopped.
To make the drink, pour ¼ cup strawberry mixture into a wine or champagne glass. Top with ½ to ¾ cup chilled, sparkling rosé and stir gently. Add bitters, if using. Garnish with lemon rind.
Strawberry mixture for this recipe makes enough for roughly 2 drinks.
