Let’s do it!
What You Will Need
- ◯ 4 ounces of chilled champagne or prosecco
- ◯ 2 ounces of strawberry puree, either fresh or from the store
- ◯ 1 ounce of vanilla vodka
- ◯ 1 tsp of honey or simple syrup (optional, for more sweetness)

What You’ll Need
- Flute for champagne
- Shaker for cocktails
- A little spoon for honey
- Strainer (if you’re making fresh strawberry puree)
How to do it
- If you’re using fresh strawberries, make the strawberry puree.
Blend fresh strawberries until they are smooth, then drain them to get a silky texture. - Put the Shaker in Place
Put strawberry puree, vanilla vodka, and honey in a cocktail shaker. Shake it up.
- Pour and strain
Put the strained contents into a cold champagne flute. - Put in the bubbles
Slowly add champagne to the top, letting the bubbles rise. - Add the garnish and serve
For a “cottontail” look, carefully put a fluffy piece of white cotton candy on the edge.
Helpful Tips
- Cool down your glass! A cold flute makes the drink even more refreshing.
- Use strawberry puree that is fresh. It tastes and looks the greatest!
- Don’t put the cotton candy in too soon! Add it right before you serve it so it stays fluffy.
- Want it without alcohol? Change out the champagne for sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
- Get really fancy! Sugar or crushed freeze-dried strawberries can be used to rim the glass.
Changes and substitutions
- No drinking? Instead, use ginger ale or sparkling lemonade.
- More fruity? Add a little orange or raspberry juice.
- More sweet? Add a little vanilla syrup to the glass before you pour in the champagne.
Leftovers and how to store them

If you’re preparing a lot, keep the champagne and strawberry combination separate until you’re ready to serve.
