The Strawberry Prosecco St. Germain cocktail has a pretty pink color and feels so festive. While a glass of bubbly is always great, this takes it up a notch (but without any extra stress).

Ingredients
St. Germain is a French liqueur made from elderflowers. It gives the cocktail a sweet and floral flavor that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.
I like to use fresh strawberries but you could also use strawberry simple syrup. A flavored syrup gives you a concentrated strawberry flavor but also adds sweetness. So consider changing the recipe to use less sugar to still get a great, fruity flavor but not so much sweetness.
Lemon adds a really nice citrusy flavor that balances out the sweetness of the strawberries and St Germain.
Castello del Poggio Prosecco is a classic Italian sparkling wine that is super delicious on its own. It’s dry and not too sweet but really drinkable.
While I used prosecco, you can use champagne, Cava or any other type of sparkling wine.
Step by Step Directions
Step 1
Add the St. Germain, fresh lemon juice, and 3 strawberries to a cocktail shaker.
Step 2
Muddle the strawberries to break them up
Step 3
Let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes for the flavors to come together.
Step 4
Add ice to the shaker and shake well.
Step 5
Strain the mixture into a champagne flute.
Step 6
Top with Castello del Poggio Prosecco, let it settle, and then top it off again.
Garnish the Strawberry Prosecco St Germain cocktail with a strawberry or a sprig of mint.
Tips
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the ingredients to infuse.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
- Chill your champagne glasses before serving to keep the cocktail cold and refreshing.
- I use a champagne flute because it looks super fancy but you could serve this cocktail in a wine glass or any other type of glass if you prefer.
Ways to make the drink your own
You can make this drink the same way but use raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries instead of strawberries.
Add a splash of cranberry or pomegranate juice for another layer of flavor.
You can make this with rosé sparkling wine instead if you want a little bit of a different flavor.
