Sparkling Strawberry Kiwi Punch

Celebrate mother's day and the first week of May with this sparkling strawberry kiwi cocktail. This is one of my favorite cocktails to make when I have gatherings because it's refreshing, strong, and has bubbles. The fresh fruit makes it sweet and similar to white wine sangria, but I add vodka instead of rum and prosecco instead of regular white wine.

Ingredients:

• 4-5 cups strawberry simple syrup

• 4-6 kiwi, sliced

• 1-2 cups strawberries, sliced

• 4 cups berry-flavored vodka

• 1 bottle of prosecco

Directions:

1. In a large pitcher, add the strawberry simple syrup, kiwi, strawberries, and vodka. Stir until combined.

2. Place the pitcher in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

3. Pour in prosecco when ready to serve.

Notes:

For strawberry simple syrup, combine 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, and 2 cups chopped strawberries in a saucepan. Allow to simmer on low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved for about 10-15 minutes. Strain liquid and allow to cool before using.
