I adore a Bellini for a breakfast celebration, so we decided to combine two of our favourite fruits for this celebratory cocktail. Rhubarb is tart and delicious and when combined with strawberries, giving this cocktail a flavour that is just the ticket for a bridal brunch or the morning of the wedding when bubbles are flowing en masse!

Ingredients

  • 15ml strawberry liqueur
  • 30ml rhubarb compote or puree
  • Champagne or prosecco
  • Fresh strawberry for garnish

Method

If you can’t find rhubarb compote in your local supermarket, try creating it yourself. Combine fresh rhubarb with caster sugar (6:1 ratio) in a pot and bring to the boil. Cook slowly over low heat until the rhubarb breaks down and the sugar melts.

Once your compote has cooled, strain it for later.

For your bellini, pour 30ml rhubarb compote into the bottom of a Champagne flute and add the strawberry liqueur.

Top with cold Champagne or prosecco.

Garnish with a fresh strawberry.
