- Pass the puree through a fine strainer.
- Pour the strawberry puree into a chilled champagne flute.
- Slowly top up with cold prosecco and stir gently.
- Garnish with a strawberry on the rim.

Pro tip: Puree the strawberries fresh and pass them through a fine strainer so no seeds disturb the enjoyment - the puree becomes beautifully velvety this way.
