Easy Drunken Strawberries Recipe
Not much to see here other than champagne strawberries! I don’t think there’s anything simpler than a bunch of strawberries soaked in booze.
This is one of my strange, but favorite snacks, friends. My mom used to make these for us by soaking the strawberries in juice, but since adulthood kicked in, I’ve tweaked her recipe a bit. And, how can you go wrong with champagne, sugar, and strawberries? You can’t. You could even use the leftovers to make Dubai chocolate strawberries!
How To Make Champagne Strawberries
You should 100% make these drunken strawberries because they are SO good! My husband eats a pound all by himself. I am able to down about 12, with a glass of champagne on the side. Can’t help the obsession. Really, there’s nothing to this recipe, if you can even call it that.
- Grab a couple pounds of strawberries and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Cover the strawberries with champagne – use your favorite bubbly – and mix in a dose of vodka. The vodka helps amp up the taste.
- Set the strawberries aside for an hour. Go get ready for your date.
- Then, come back to the berries, drain them and pat dry with paper towels.
- Next, you want to roll each strawberry in sugar, then transfer the berries to a serving plate, and serve.
Recipe Tips & Variations
- This champagne strawberries recipe is easy and sweet, but also customizable in the alcohol department – you don’t have to use champagne. Like in my Moscato fruit salad, I can guarantee that Moscato is a great choice for fruits.
- Not into alcohol? Use your favorite juice.
- Watching your waistline? Well, then, skip this strawberry recipe altogether and hop on over to this frozen yogurt bark berries recipe.
