Strawberry Sparkler

Easter Brunch is just one of those meals that requires a special cocktail.  I wanted something fun and refreshing, but also something colorful, like an Easter Egg this year.  I'm not a huge fan of champagne, but the sparkly stuff does lend itself well to brunch beverages.  So, I went rooting around in my fridge, did a little internet searching for inspiration, and came up with this lovely drink!  It reminded me of a pink tulip and tasted just like Springtime!  This is the perfect signature cocktail for a bridal shower, spring luncheon, or for no reason at all!  Enjoy...and Happy Easter!

2 cups hulled strawberries
1/4 cup orange juice
1 bottle chilled Prosecco or other dry sparkling wine
Mint sprigs, whole strawberries, and orange slices for garnish

In a blender, puree strawberries and orange juice until smooth. In a pitcher, combine strawberry puree and prosecco.  Stir gently. Serve garnished with sprigs of mint and additional whole strawberries and orange slices.
