Instructions
Start by making the strawberry syrup. In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, water, and sugar. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes or until the strawberries are very soft.
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.
Notes
If you’d like to make your own strawberry syrup at home, simply substitute the store-bought version with the recipe outlined in step 1.
If you’d like to make the drink a bit sweeter, add a teaspoon of sugar or simple syrup.
If you’d prefer a more traditional taste, feel free to omit the strawberry syrup and use 1 oz of simple syrup instead.
