Strawberries & Champagne Punch




Strawberries & Champagne Punch

I really like this version of Strawberry Champagne punch. In my family we call it the "giggling punch" because it doesn't matter if I use champagne or sparkling grape juice this stuff still makes people "jolly" for some reason.

It's lightly fizzy, fruity, crisp, refreshing and the champagne taste is pretty mild for those champagne haters. Just be careful cause whew lawd....it can sneak up on you!  I love champagne punch around the holidays because it goes so well with formal meals.  Throw in a few frozen berries in the bottom of the glass before serving and you have yourself one tasty, sexy drink! Great for Valentines Day dinner as well.

To me, champagne punch tastes the best when it's been in the freezer for about an hour and gets those lil ice chips in them. I like it ICE COLD BABY!!


Ingredients (all ingredients should be super chilled)

1 ( 64 oz.) bottle of 100% White Grape juice (I like using white grape peach. There are so many white grape combos out there that taste so great with this. Choose your favorite, just make sure it's relatively light in color!)
1 (2 liter) bottle of 7-up
1 bottle of extra dry Champagne (750 ml)  (or sparkling white grape juice)
16 oz bottle of club soda
1/2 -1 cup sugar
Frozen strawberries

Step 1.) In a large punch bowl, add white grape juice & 7up. Stir gently to combine.










Step 2.) Stir in club soda & champagne.










Step 3.) Taste and add sugar if you like a sweeter champagne punch.





Step 4.) Drop frozen strawberries into glass and pour on the champagne punch!







Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
