Prosecco Strawberry Lemonade
(3/5)
Made this for Dinner Thursdays. Read full post here.
This was a good refreshing drink. I was a little skeptical at first when I saw the basil in the mix but after it was all blended together, the taste wasn’t as overpowering as I thought it would be. I think this would be a great drink to have on a hot summer day, but since we live here in the Seattle area, that’s just asking too much haha.
Prosecco Strawberry Lemonade
Recipe by Television once upon a time and modified by Vivian S.
Ingredients:
10 Strawberries
2 Lemons
6 basil leaves
1 bottle of Prosecco Brut wine
sugar
Directions:
Chill the wine.
Slice strawberries and lemons in half. Place the strawberries in a bowl and squeeze the juice from the lemon halves into the bowl. Rip up the basil leaves and place into bowl and sprinkle a few table spoons of sugar into the bowl. Let sit for ~10 mins. Taste the juice at the bottom of the bowl and make sure that it tastes more on the sweet side than sour, if it is sour tasting rather than sweet/tangy add more sugar.
Place the contents of the bowl into a blender and blend it all together into a slushy consistency. Pour the contents into a cup filling it just below half way mark. Pour the Prosecco wine into the cup and mix with a straw. Serve cold.
