Now that the holidays are over, I can start planning out my New Year's festivities! I am not a big drinker, aside from a glass of wine on special occasions, but I insist on buying a bottle of champagne every New Year's Eve. It's more of a running joke though, because I always take a few sips, say yuck, then make my husband finish off the bottle. This year, though, I am serving up a new recipe that I found from Golden Blossom Honey. It combines the goodness of honey + strawberries mixed into champagne, making for one scrumptious cooler. I predict this will be the first year that I finish off an entire glass of champagne, and return for seconds!
Strawberry Champagne Cooler
Ingredients
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1/3 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1 bottle champagne
extra strawberries for ice cubes
1/3 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1 bottle champagne
extra strawberries for ice cubes
Directions
When ready to serve mix strawberry puree with champagne in a large bowl. Ladle into glasses. Add a few ice cubes to keep chilled.
Yields: 4-5 glasses

What are your New Year's Eve plans?
I've never mixed honey and fruit with champagne; I bet it tastes great. The pink color is festive for a party. Not really any plans for New Years Eve this year.
ReplyDeleteHmm never tried this one...I knew royal breakfast with orange juice and champagne.. I am happy with only the bubble without anything ha ha..this one is worth to try!
ReplyDeleteoh btw, Merry Christmas to you and family Theresa!
ReplyDeleteYou put the honeybear photo there so that me would stare at it for half an hour, yes? :)
ReplyDelete'tis the only way I'd drink champagne too! They often do this with peaches as well!
Ooh! Peaches sound great too! I wonder if I can find any around here!?
DeleteI'll be working both days, so New Years Eve night I'll probably be sleeping
ReplyDeleteI don't drink even a little, so just another day for me
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome. I am not a fan of champagne on its own, but when it's in a delicious drink like this - bring it on!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good. I love strawberries. Yummy Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum. I always make a bit extra puree... enough to fill one ice cube tray. Freeze it, and then add a one or two cubes to the glass. That way it won't water down the drink as it melts.
ReplyDeleteThis looks inviting to me perhaps I will try one this New Year's Eve.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a drink I would enjoy - sweet and not too strong. Honey makes everything taste good!
ReplyDeleteYuck is the only way to describe champagne. But it looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI would like the taste! I'm not a big drinker, but 1 or 2 every once in awhile is good!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good drink for New Years Eve. I love champagne drinks infused with strawberries.
