Champagne Fruit Punch
Serve this fizzy, fruity drink in champagne flutes or in punch cups. Make a separate batch with pineapple juice for a nonalcoholic punch.

Ingredients
-
1 16-ounce package frozen unsweetened whole strawberries or sliced peaches
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
2-1/2 cups orange juice
-
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
-
1 750-milliliter bottle champagne or sparkling wine or 4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
Directions
1.
Thaw fruit at room temperature but do not drain. Place fruit and any juice in a blender container or food processor bowl. Add sugar. Cover and blend or process until smooth. To remove strawberry seeds, pour mixture through a fine sieve or a sieve lined with a double thickness of 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth.
2.
Transfer pureed fruit to a 2-quart pitcher. Stir in orange juice and lemon or lime juice. Slowly stir in champagne, sparkling wine, or pineapple juice. Serve over ice. Makes about 12 (5-ounce) servings.
Make-Ahead Tip
Up to 24 hours ahead, puree the fruit and combine with orange juice and lemon or lime juice in a pitcher. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours ahead. Before serving, stir in champagne or pineapple juice. Serve as directed.
