INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup of granulated sugar or honey
1/2 cup of water
1/2 lemon, zest
1 pint of fresh strawberries, pureed and chilled
1 bottle of Prosecco, chilled
Fresh mint sprigs
METHOD
To make the simple syrup: Place sugar and water into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil while vigorously whisking. Continue to boil until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon. Next, remove from heat and allow to cool completely for 10-15 minutes.
Stir the simple syrup, lemon zest, pureed strawberries, and Prosecco in a glass container and place in a freezer for four hours until the mixture has set. Next, use a fork to scrape the mixture into a slush, then scoop it into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint and strawberries.
