Rose and strawberries Spritz

Serve in large Prosecco glasses.

You can mix this cocktail directly in the glass.

If the rose cordial is difficult to find, switch it for an easier elderflower cordial. If using a syrup, reduce the amount by half.

First, add the chopped strawberries, the lime juice and the sugar and stir well to dissolve the sugar and break down the strawberries. Then add the vodka and cordial and fill the glass with ice cubes.

Now add half of the Prosecco and stir to mix everything well.

Add the final top up of Prosecco DOC rosé and garnish with a couple of rose petals.

There are edible roses available from in a few retail stores but if you have already bought regular red roses for your loved one, I suggest you use those to garnish your cocktail. Just make sure they are well rinsed.
