Strawberry Champagne Pitcher Cocktail

Prep Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle champagne
  • 1/2 cup apricot brandy
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup
  • 1 bunch mint
  • 2 cups strawberries sliced
  • Ice

For simple syrup:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. To prepare simple syrup, combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
  2. To prepare pitcher cocktail, combine champagne, apricot brandy, simple syrup, mint, and strawberries in a large pitcher. (You can adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your taste level, less if you prefer a less sweet cocktail, as the apricot brandy also provides some sweetness). Stir to combine, then add ice before serving and stir again.
