- 500g bag Creative Gourmet frozen Mixed Berries
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

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.
