Here’s a recipe for a drink that will go very well at your summer party – The German “Erdbeer Bowle” or Strawberry Cooler is a combination of sparkling wine, white wine and strawberries that were soaked in vodka. If you make this drink you will for sure have no left overs. The European sparkling wine can be found at Trader Joe’s or any good liquor store. The punch bowl should be made out of glass and you need a laddle as well.
Ingredients Strawberry Cooler
1.5kg strawberries
50g sugar
200 ml vodka
fresh mint leaves as needed
1.5 liters of white wine, dry
2 bottles sparkling wine (sparkling wine)
some ice cubes made from white wine
optional: some frozen raspberries
1 punch bowl and 1 ladle
Instructions Strawberry Cooler
– Wash strawberries, remove green parts.
– Depending on size cut in halves or quarters.
– Place into the punch bowl and add the sugar.
– Mix, let sit for 15 minutes, then add the vodka. Strawberries should be covered.
– Add mint leaves as desired.
– Keep in fridge at least for 5 hours.
– Just before serving pour the wine and the sparkling wine into the bowl.
TIP: Instead of adding ice cubes add some frozen wine cubes (regular ice cubes will make the drink too watery)
