Notes
- To prevent your drink from getting cloudy, don’t press the strawberries into the syrup too hard.
- You can customize the level of sweetness of your drink. Start with less amount of strawberry syrup and slowly add more. Taste and adjust for the perfect flavor.
- Pour the champagne into the glass slowly to prevent it from overflowing.
