Strawberry Syrup

  • 3/4 pound strawberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

Make the Strawberry Syrup

  • Prepare the strawberries by removing green leaves and cut them into thin slices.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add strawberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiled, turn the heat down and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Blend the strawberries with a blender. (I used an immersion blender).
  • Strain the strawberry syrup through a sieve. (Make sure not to press the strawberries too hard, so your drink can stay clear.)
  • Let it chill.

Make Strawberry Hennessy Cocktail

  • In a cocktail glass, add ice and fresh strawberries.
  • Pour in Hennessy, Champagne, and strawberry syrup. Mix gently. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • To prevent your drink from getting cloudy, don’t press the strawberries into the syrup too hard.
  • You can customize the level of sweetness of your drink. Start with less amount of strawberry syrup and slowly add more. Taste and adjust for the perfect flavor.
  • Pour the champagne into the glass slowly to prevent it from overflowing.
