Cheers to Mom!

A little sparkle and fizz for Mother's Day

The morning of Mother's Day many women will wake up to a breakfast, maybe even a breakfast in bed. While being treated early in the day is a lovely tradition, let us not forget that it is a whole day dedicated to celebrating mom. With that in mind, we suggest winding down the day with a little drink just for the ladies. On a warm desert evening, any reason to uncork some sparkling wine is a good reason. Here is a cocktail that combines the bubbles of sparkling wine with sunny citrus flavors and bright red strawberries. Happy Mother's Day!

Ingredients

  • 4 strawberries, plus extra to decorate with.
  • 2 dashes of sugar syrup
  • 4 lime wedges
  • 2 measures of any berry flavored vodka
