Don't you think it's romantic to surprise your love after coming home after a long day of work with a Valentines' cocktail on February 14th? I've got a great recipe for you! Simple and delicious.

Strawberries are soft fruit, which means that you should wash them just before using them in a recipe. That way you can store them longer.
Don't hull the strawberries before washing them. Otherwise, they soak the water and the flavor will dilute.
Substitute the strawberries with raspberries for a different flavor.
If you want to serve a mocktail (an alcohol-free cocktail that is), substitute the Prosecco with sparkling water with a fruit flavor. That's really delicious.
Add some finely cut strawberries to this drink.
Because it's Valentine, serve this with dark chocolate. Temptation at it's best.

Preparation and storage

The strawberry puree can be made in advance in the morning and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This cocktail is best made fresh. You can't store it.
