Serves 8
1( 750 ml) bottle Brut Champagne or dry sparkling wine, chilled
1 cup of elderflower liqueur, like St-Germain
1( 12-ounce) can of club soda or seltzer water, chilled
1 cup sliced strawberries
In a large pitcher, combine all of the ingredients and stir. Add ice. Pour into glasses filled with ice and scoop a few strawberries into each glass.
Recipe from Maureen Petrosky, Kitchn
NOTES The recipe can be made without the club soda but cut the elderflower liqueur by ¼ cup.
The strawberries can be removed completely, or you can substitute other fresh berries, sliced peaches or other fresh fruit. We used lemons and limes.
To make just one cocktail, combine 1 ounce of elderflower liqueur and 3 ounces of chilled Champagne with a few sliced strawberries.
