Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup (240ml) champagne or sparkling wine (dry or brut)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey, plus 1 tablespoon for macerating
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Optional: a few fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
- Macerate the strawberries by placing the quartered strawberries in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of honey or simple syrup. Let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the macerated strawberries to a blender and puree until smooth but still slightly textured. For seed-free popsicles, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the champagne, fresh orange juice, remaining honey or syrup, and lemon juice. Stir gently to preserve bubbles.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the champagne mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- If using, stir in finely chopped fresh mint leaves.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully frozen.
- To unmold, briefly dip molds in warm water for a second or two, then gently pull out the popsicles and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not shake or blend the champagne mixture vigorously to preserve bubbles. Freeze slowly to maintain fizz and avoid icy texture. Consume within 3 days for best flavor and fizz. For non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling water or club soda and add extra orange juice.
