Femme Fatale Punch Recipe
Email
This combination of sparkling wine and strawberries may look girly and fruity, but after one glass you’ll understand why it’s called punch.
What to buy: Look for a limoncello that’s not sickly sweet, such as Caravella, or make your own.
This recipe was featured as part of both our Summer Fruit Cocktails and our Punch Recipes slideshows.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered (about 3 cups), plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
- 8 ounces limoncello, chilled
- 2 bottles brut cava, chilled
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the measured strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids.
- Pour the limoncello and strawberry purée into a punch bowl and stir until well combined. Slowly pour in the cava. Garnish individual glasses with strawberries, if desired.
I made this for friends and everyone loved it, even the boys. I used rose sparkling wine instead of cava. Will definitely make this again.
I just made it, and yes it was sooo strong, i added a mix of 7up and spakling water, next time i will reduce half the limoncello, but it is still a good drink.
Made this last night for our Ladies Cocktail night. It was very refreshing and tasty. I added sparkling water as many thought it was too strong. I mixed it in a pitcher, did half batch at a time and added 1 liter bottle of sparkling water to each batch.
