Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 oz Hennessy
- 4 oz champagne
- ice
- fresh lemon and strawberries for garnishing
Strawberry Syrup*
- 3/4 pound strawberries**
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Syrup: Prepare the strawberries by removing green leaves and cutting them into thin slices.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add strawberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiled, turn the heat down and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Blend the strawberries with a blender. (I used an immersion blender).
- Strain the strawberry syrup through a sieve. (Make sure not to press the strawberries too hard, so your drink can stay clear.)
- Let it chill in the fridge.
- Make Strawberry Hennessy Cocktail: In a wine glass or cocktail glass, add ice and fresh strawberries.
- Pour in Hennessy and Champagne. Top the glass with strawberry syrup (You'll only need a small portion of the syrup you made. Save the rest in the fridge). Mix gently. Serve and enjoy!
- Strawberry Hennessy is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately.
Notes
- *You can make strawberry syrup ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. You'll only need a small portion for this recipe.
- ** Use fresh and ripe strawberries that are sweeter and more flavorful. Frozen ones will work too.
- Make sure to strain the strawberry mixture to remove pulp and seeds for a smoother drink. 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.
