We made it to Friday, Guys!
In my opinion that’s something to celebrate. I don’t know about your, but after the week I’ve had I’m ready for a drink! If you follow me on social media at all then you know I drink Freixenet champagne quite frequently. It’s been a long time favorite of mine. Recently (that I know of) they are producing a Prosecco. I knew I had to create a drink recipe this week that included it.
Today I’m making a Balsamic Basil Strawberry Fizz. But before we get into the drink details first we have to talk syrup.
what you do:
Simply add everything to a small saucepan and simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Then, strain into a small container. Wait for it to cool before use.
On to the drink recipe!
Okay so as I’ve said I deeply love a fizzy drink. Definitely my favorite. Once you make the syrup, this drink is so easy and fast to throw together.
Add vodka, syrup, and lemon juice to a glass. Then, add as much Prosecco as you’d like and then a small drizzle of balsamic. Make sure it is more of a syrup instead of something like a dressing.
So what’s a “balsamic garnish”?
This is something I just learned about myself. A small drizzle of good quality balsamic vinegar can make a drink more savory and add such depth to your cocktail. I built this drink around the balsamic flavor. Every Spring I start adding strawberries to everything! This drink is so perfect for sips on the patio or if these Spring temps are too low, sitting room sips will due until we can get outside.
