Description

A Cozy Kitchen makes a refreshing Strawberry Balsamic Basil Spritzer.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ cups Water
  • 4 whole Basil Stems
  • ½ cups Minced Basil
  • 1-½ cup Chopped Strawberries
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 cups, 2 tablespoons, 2 teaspoons, 2-⅝ pinches Prosecco Sparkling Wine

Preparation

To make the syrup, combine the sugar, water and basil stems in a small saucepan. Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a simmer for about a minute, and then remove from heat. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then remove the stems and add the minced basil. Place in a jar or other airtight container and allow to cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).

In a food processor, combine the strawberries and balsamic vinegar and blend into a puree. In a pitcher, combine chilled basil syrup and balsamic puree. Add in Prosecco and stir well before pouring into glasses. Serve over ice (preferably crushed).

Loved the flavor – not wild about the basel bits in the bottom of the glass. I will make this again, but strain the basel syrup before adding it to the rest of the ingredients, then garnish with basel leaves.
