A refreshing yet decadent drink, this Strawberry Lime Champagne Cocktail is just about the best thing to serve at your next brunch get-together! It has only three ingredients – super quick and easy to make!
Oh hi friends! It’s time for champagne, and lots of it! OK, a glass each but we love to share, right? ♡
I’ve been wanting to share a champagne cocktail for like, ever!
But I’ve always battled with myself – is it too fancy?
I can drive (read: make Bran drive) to France and pick up a pretty decent bottle of champagne for not a lot of money.
But the beauty of this is that you can make it with ANY sparkling pink wine and if you’re feeling super rebellious you can even use a white one.
I promise I will only pout for a little while.
Now let’s get a bit personal for a minute.
I think I have hinted at my small obsessive compulsive habit a few times here on the blog now and the time has come to get rid of some quirks once and for all.
I think I could even make this into a campaign
“Do you suffer from having to sort your baby’s plastic spoons by color? Is it impossible for you to have a fork out of place in the drawer? Is it absolutely necessary for your well-being to drink all the pink champagne in strawberry lime champagne cocktails?”
OK I made that last one up but GUYS!!!! Our cutlery drawer is totally out of order and I’m so fine with it.
Victory.
(This makes me sound so lame, please don’t goooo! I promise I’m otherwise pretty cool to hang out read-out? blog-out? with!)
So let’s celebrate that humoooongous victory of mine with these nice strawberry lime champagne cocktails.
And uhm, just for the record: I did NOT alter the color of this drink in post-processing. And there’s no food coloring involved either. It’s just the uber-awesomeness of fresh strawberry purée paired with a bit of lime juice.
Now please excuse me, I need to go NOT reorder the spoons in the drawer. I better get myself a glass of champagne…

So easy and yum!
Chris says
Can you use triple sec instead of sugar? Will that change this to something completely different?
Nora says
Sorry Chris, I really couldn’t tell you. I’m pretty sure it will turn it into something different though, and it could potentially be delicious. So worth a try I’d say 🙂

With good ripe strawberries, you can just mash one large one in a glass and have a delightful champagne kir – reminiscent of, but fresher than , a kir royale (creme de cassis ) or kir imperial (creme de framboise)!
Nora says
That sounds delicious – thanks for the suggestion!
