The Perfect Blend
This delightful drink may look sweet and innocent, but trust us, it packs a punch. The secret lies in the combination of tangy limoncello, sweet strawberries, and crisp cava. To get started, you’ll need:
- 1 pound of fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered (about 3 cups)

- 8 ounces of chilled limoncello (opt for a brand like Caravella that’s not too sweet)
- 2 bottles of chilled brut cava
Blending Up a Storm
In a blender, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer to discard the solids. This will leave you with a sweet and tangy strawberry purée.

Pour the limoncello and strawberry purée into a punch bowl and stir until well combined. Slowly pour in the cava, watching as the bubbles dance and the flavors meld together.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish individual glasses with fresh strawberries, if desired, and serve immediately. With its fruity flavor and effervescent sparkle, this punch is sure to be a hit at any summer soiree.
