Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Place half of the halved strawberries into a large measuring jug and pour in the elderflower liqueur. Use a cocktail muddler or the end of a rolling pin to crush the berries thoroughly until they have released their juice and infused the liqueur.
02
Set a fine-mesh sieve over a large serving jug filled with ice. Strain the strawberry and liqueur mixture into the jug, pressing down firmly on the fruit solids to extract every bit of flavor.
03
Pour the chilled sparkling rosé and soda water into the jug. Add the remaining fresh strawberry halves and stir gently to combine without losing the bubbles. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
For the best flavor, ensure all your liquid ingredients are thoroughly chilled before mixing. If you prefer a sweeter punch, you can add a splash of simple syrup or use a sweeter style of rosé. To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the liqueur with elderflower cordial and the rosé with sparkling white grape juice.
