I seriously love champagne and need very little reason to celebrate.  So let’s all toast to the fact that tomorrow is July 3rd and having the day off the day before a National Holiday. Try this delicious and festive July 4th champagne cocktail.  It’s one of my favorites.  I learned it from a really lovely old woman in Germany with a drinking problem.  

Slice approximately 3 cups (1 carton) of strawberries into bite sized pieces.  

Add a container of whole fresh blueberries 

Combine fruit with 3/4 cup of sugar (or more or less to taste)

Mix well and cover fruit mixture with a dry white wine 

Cover and refrigerate at least over night

Then add a couple of spoonful of fruit, wine, sugar mixture into a glass and top with champagne

And for an even better trick…if you like champagne cocktails, add fruit nectar, berries, or whatever to an ice cube tray and freeze over night.  Then pack them in a cooler and add a cube or two to your champagne!  Keeps your drink cold and your spirits high.

So here’s to Tom J, Ben F, and all the other founding dudes.  Happy 4th all you Product Princesses!
