- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup water

- 4 oz cream soda
Sprinkle Rim

- Remove from heat and drain strawberries. Cool strawberry syrup and store in mason jar or other air-tight container.
- Pour melted butter into small bowl big enough to fit the lip of the champagne glass. Add sprinkles to a plate. Dip the rim of the champagne glass in the butter, then in the sprinkles. Repeat for all glasses.

- Fill the rest of the glass with champagne to top. Add strawberry slice to drink or to the rim. Cheers!
Notes
The simple strawberry syrup can be made a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator for easy cocktail-fixin'.
Bartender secret: An ounce of liquid can be poured free-hand without a jigger by counting to four while pouring into the glass. Additionally, two ounces can be measured by counting to eight during the pour.
