No matter the time of year, I love taking advantage seasonal fresh fruit when serving signature cocktails at my clients' weddings. These refreshing Rossini's combine champagne with strawberry puree for a perfect summer sip at a sunny July wedding. Let the season of your wedding inspire some creative mixology - pumpkin and ginger make marvelous martinis in fall, cranberries warm any chilly day in winter, and citrus and mint in the spring are fresh and bright like the season itself.

These look amazing - and I just so happen to have strawberries and a cold bottle of champagne in the fridge. Who needs a wedding? How about a Saturday afternoon!

This recipe for the Rossinii Cocktail is from the Cavalli Club in Florence:
ReplyDeleteCombine the fresh strawberry puree with with prosecco and some ice in the shaker, shake it well with the ice then pour it in the martini glass or the flute.

ReplyDeleteplease stop and think before you shake, shake, shake and stir, stir, stir instead. You are going to end up with strawberry and champaign on your ceiling.

The Rossini is another version of the Bellini cocktail. It began to become popular
in the last century. Prepared with puree of fresh strawberries and Prosecco or
Champagne. Serve this cocktail in a fluted glass and you will have an elegant and
refreshing drink.
Recipe for the cocktail is 1/3 fresh strawberry puree to 2/3 cold Prosecco or
Champagne. The preparation consists of the simple union of the ingredients in a
glass with some ice.
The most complicated part of this (if you can call it that) is making the strawberry
puree. The only way to do this is to put in a blender or small food processor. Once
pureed, mix with a few drops of lemon juice and some sugar syrup (made by mixing
water and sugar over low heat till sugar is melted)
What if u topped the drinks with whipped cream?
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteNo shaking, please, you'll lose all the wonderful bubbles! Just strawberry puree (strain through a fine sieve if you don't want the little strawberry "grains" in your glass), 1/3 as Anonymous said, and the 2/3 Prosecco. A little (little!) stirring is allowed. ;) Champagne makes it "just" a Champagne-strawberry cocktail, not a Rossini, I'm afraid. For a Rossini you'll have to use Prosecco. ;) Ciao!
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone post this "without" the recipe? I don't want to just look at it lol!

I am not the person who put this on pinterest but If I was going to make this I would do as follows: Place strawberries in a blender and blend till your consistency. Place half of the strawberry in glass and top with the champagne. Make sure the Champagne is real cold.
ReplyDeleteTry this and see if you like. Place a half cut strawberry on the glass to make it look pretty.
Another great drink for any occasion is cranberry and champagne. Place half cranberry juice in glass top with champagne.
Peach juice and champagne. Directions the same. You can use fresh fruits for any champagne drinks. Enjoy!!
Thank You. Looks wonderful.
