DRUNKEN STRAWBERRIES
A versatile how-to if you will, Drunken Strawberries can be made with whatever alcohol you like! Serve them at parties, gatherings, brunch, on Mother’s Day, birthdays OR for your special someone on Valentine’s Day.
WHAT DO YOU SOAK STRAWBERRIES IN?
I’ve found over the years that the best tasting strawberries have been infused with a dry alcohol. Prosecco, Champagne, Vodka, Rum, White wine, Red wine or Rosé work really well with strawberries. Coating them in granulated white sugar creates a sweet syrup of strawberry mixed with the alcohol that you can dip them in when serving!
YOU NEED JUST THREE INGREDIENTS FOR A DELICIOUS TREAT!
STRAWBERRIES: Use firm, vibrant-coloured ripe strawberries for this recipe. Wash them well before soaking in alcohol.
ALCOHOL: You don’t need an expensive bottle of alcohol for this recipe. although I do recommend using your favourite brand.
SUGAR: White granulated sugar or raw sugar work well and add needed sweetness and crunch.
Drunken strawberries are a hit wherever you serve them!

Brianna says
We had a whole heap of strawberries that we were going to make into jam. Well guess who stole some to make these? Me that’s who. I used champagne and I normally hate it and can’t drink it but! it really brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit! It’s the only alcohol I have in the house. I’m even amazed that this is happening right now in my kitchen. They’re so good!
