Instructions

Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup hulled and quartered fresh strawberries, 8 fresh basil leaves, 2 tbsp simple syrup, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth and fragrant.
Step 2: Strain the strawberry-basil puree through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove seeds and solids.
Step 3: Fill each champagne flute halfway with 1/4 cup of the strained puree. Slowly top with chilled Champagne or sparkling wine to fill the glass, stirring gently to combine.
Step 4: Add ice cubes if desired for a cooler drink and garnish each glass with a small basil leaf and a sliced strawberry for presentation.
