Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 500g bag Creative Gourmet frozen Mixed Berries
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 750ml bottle Prosecco, sparking white wine or champagne, chilled

Method

  1. Place frozen berries into a medium saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice and bring to the boil, stirring often, over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes until glossy and syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside to slightly cool.
  2. Push the berries through a fine mesh sieve over a bowl to remove seeds. Discard seeds. Place puree (you should have about 300ml) into an airtight container, cover and chill for 2-3 hours or overnight.

Tip:

  • Based on the famous Bellini cocktail, this is a great drink for the races, spring picnics or special gatherings with family and friends.
  • Prosecco is an Italian-style sparkling white wine that’s traditionally used in this cocktail.
  • Use a wooden spoon, to mash the berries and push them through the sieve so you catch all their natural juices.
  • The pureed mixed berries can be made up to 3 days ahead of serving.To serve, spoon 2 tbs (40ml) chilled berry puree into champagne glasses. Top with chilled Prosecco, sparkling white wine or champagne and serve immediately.
