Ingredients

2 lbs strawberries, plus 8 cut into stars for garnish
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 cup pink champagne, plus more for pouring over

Preparation

Place the strawberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Place in a large bowl and stir in 1/2 cup pink Champagne.
Pour into a quart container and place into the freezer for 6 hours. Leave sorbet out for 10-15 minutes to slightly soften before serving.
