We’re in peak strawberry season here in Florida and it’s one of my favorite times of the year! After a long winter, it’s such a nice change to see the spring produce starting to make its way! So to celebrate, I whipped up this strawberry champagne margarita recipe to kick things off!

Chris and I love to take full advantage as Floridians and go pick fresh produce at our local Florida farms! It’s such a fun date idea to enjoy the outdoors and get your hands on the freshest fruit Florida has to offer! We went early Sunday morning (before the heat and humidity showed up) and picked almost 10 pounds of fresh strawberries! Afterwards, we treated ourselves to a well deserved brunch and enjoyed the gorgeous spring weather.

I had so much fun creating this strawberry champagne margarita because it’s a small but fun twist on a classic, which I love! The champagne gives a nice touch of bubbles to spritz up your afternoon happy hour or it’d be perfect to serve for brunch!

So let’s get to it!

We’re not adding ice to make sure that the honey gets mixed and doesn’t Add the first five ingredients to an empty shaker and muddle until strawberries are well broken down.

Dry shake (no ice) to mix before adding ice to the shaker. Shake again and strain into a salt rimmed glass filled with ice. Top with chilled champagne and garnish with a strawberry!
