Strawbini recipe

As a twist on a bellini, I use Wild Idol Alcohol-Free Sparkling White. It’s made using Müller-Thurgau grapes grown in south-west Germany but it doesn’t go through the fermentation process, so it is naturally alcohol free. If you are using a full-sized bottle, you will have enough for 5-6 servings. You can, of course, make this with any sparkling wine.

Timings

Prep time: 5 minutes, plus 20 minutes chilling time

Serves 

2

Ingredients

• 60g strawberries
• 250ml cava, prosecco, Champagne, or an alcohol-free sparkling wine alternative, chilled

To serve

• 1 strawberry, hulled and halved

Method

1. Whizz the hulled strawberries in a blender until smooth. Pour into a container, cover and chill for at least 20 minutes. At the same time, put 2 Champagne glasses into the fridge.
2. Put 1 tbsp of the strawberry purée into each of the glasses and carefully top up with the wine, stirring as you pour to prevent it fizzing over.
3. Garnish with the strawberry.
