Sparkling Wine Berry Pops Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup of fresh or frozen berries (your choice – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry medley)
1 cup of sparkling wine (choose your favorite – our personal pick is The OCTOPUS Sparkling Albariño or the SEA URCHIN Sparkling Rosé of Pinot noir)
A touch of honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
Instructions:
Blend It Up: In a blender, combine the berries and sparkling wine. Blend until smooth to create a delicious berry-wine purée.
Sweeten the Deal: If you like a touch of sweetness, add a drizzle of honey and blend again.
Pour and Freeze: Pour the purée into popsicle molds. Add some whole berries on top. Pop them in the freezer and let them chill overnight.
Plop and Enjoy: Once frozen, plop your sparkling wine berry pop into a glass, pour a little extra sparkling wine over it if you’re feeling fancy, and enjoy your creation!
