- In a clear serving bowl or pitcher, layer the macerated strawberries and spoon some of the juice over them.
- Gently pour champagne over the strawberries, allowing the effervescence to mingle beautifully.
- Spoon whipped cream on top to create a creamy layer.
- Ladle the mixture into glasses and serve immediately, optionally garnishing with mint leaves.
Notes
For best results, add champagne right before serving to retain effervescence. Customize with different fruits as desired.
