Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 ml champagne or prosecco
- 60 ml Grand Marnier or orange liqueur
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Remove the green stems with a paring knife or a strawberry huller if desired, but leaving them intact is fine too for a more decorative look.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water to create a simple syrup. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
In a medium-sized bowl, pour in the champagne or prosecco and add the Grand Marnier or orange liqueur. Stir gently to combine.
Once the syrup has cooled, pour it into the champagne-liqueur mixture and stir again.
Place the strawberries into the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. This allows the strawberries to soak up the boozy mixture and develop their flavor.
Before serving, remove the strawberries from the liquid using a slotted spoon and arrange them on a serving platter or in individual glasses.
Optional: Garnish with mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar for presentation. Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful drunken strawberries!
