Instructions

- Mash the cooked strawberries using either a potato masher or an immersion blender. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, discarding any solids. Set aside to cool before using.
- Fill a glass with crushed ice and pour in 4 oz of champagne followed by 2 oz of Hennessy and 2 oz of strawberry syrup. Stir gently with a spoon until combined.
- Garnish the drink with a slice of lemon and a strawberry. Serve immediately and enjoy.
