A smooth strawberry dessert sauce works beautifully as an easy-to-find alternative.
Shake well until thoroughly chilled.
Fill a large wine or copa glass with ice cubes. Strain the cocktail over the ice
Top up gently with approximately 50 ml chilled Extra Dry Prosecco, or to taste.
The amount of prosecco can be adjusted to personal preference. A smaller top-up produces a richer fruit-forward cocktail, while a more generous pour creates a lighter, drier sparkling serve.
Give one gentle stir.
Garnish with half a fresh strawberry.
For a smaller, more elegant serve, prepare half the recipe and serve without ice in a chilled Champagne flute.
For a fruitier variation, try topping the cocktail with a Brut Rosé Prosecco, adding subtle red fruit notes and an even deeper blush finish.

Rather than recreating the traditional strawberries-and-cream experience, it captures Wimbledon elegance through rich berry flavours, delicate floral notes and lively sparkling wine.Unsweetened cranberry juice provides both the cocktail's vibrant ruby colour and its refreshing acidity, eliminating the need for additional citrus.
