I drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it -- unless I'm thirsty. (Madame Lilly Bollinger)
This is a perfect drink for springtime. Gorgeous to look at, and if you're not careful, you will have downed the whole bottle in no time. Bliss.
Rossini (Cheers!)
1/2 cup ripe organic strawberries
1 flat teaspoon sugar (or more, depending on your strawberries)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup very cold prosecco
Hull and then quarter the strawberries. Sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice. Puree until absolutely smooth. (Michael used the marvelous hand-held blender and a Pyrex for this.) Pour into 2 glasses, divide the prosecco, give it a good mix, let is settle, and serve immediately. (Recipe from Venezia: Food and Dreams
