  4. Remove from heat. Blend the strawberries with a blender. (I used an immersion blender).

Notes

  • To prevent your drink from getting cloudy, don’t press the strawberries into the syrup too hard.
  • You can customize the level of sweetness of your drink. Start with less amount of strawberry syrup and slowly add more. Taste and adjust for the perfect flavor.
  • Pour the champagne into the glass slowly to prevent it from overflowing.
