What are the Ingredients to Strawberry Vodka Prosecco Cocktail?
- Prosecco
- Your favorite vodka
- Frozen strawberries, thawed
Yup, that’s it!
I suggest making the strawberry puree ahead of time if you plan on offering it at a party. Once you have it made, you can leave it in the fridge overnight. I don’t use fresh strawberries because I want to have that thawed strawberry syrup to mix into the puree.
I didn’t want to add any sugar so using frozen strawberries ensured that they were at peak flavor when picked. Also, it’s cheaper than fresh strawberries, too.
As for the prosecco and vodka, select brands that you like.
How to make Strawberry Vodka Prosecco Cocktail
You will need for each serving:
-2 ounces Vodka
-1 tablespoon strawberry puree
-prosecco to fill the glass
First, you want to plan ahead and thaw your frozen strawberries overnight. I left about a cup in the fridge for the night, but if you’re serving many people, you should thaw what you think you will need.
Next, I poured the thawed strawberries and the juice into a container that would be easy to use with my emulsion blender. Take the time to blend everything together until it’s smooth.
When ready to make the cocktail, grab the strawberry puree, vodka, ice and a shaker. Mix everything together to chill and blend the ingredients together.
Pour into your glass, then fill to the top with prosecco.
If you want to add a garnish, you can add a slice of fresh strawberry.
Common Questions about This Cocktail
Do you need to use frozen strawberries?
The simple answer is no. You can use fresh, but I do think you will need to add water and sugar to give your puree a sweeter and more loose consistency.
Can I use champagne instead of prosecco?
I wouldn’t. For two reasons: prosecco is lighter and fruitier, and, the second reason is that it’s cheaper! With that said, don’t let it hold you back. If you prefer champagne, try it out! Want to learn the difference between champagne and prosecco? Food and Wine has a nice post about it.
