On Tuesday I mentioned my recent obsession Chick Flicks. I don’t know what it is about those ridiculous romantic comedies that make me giddy – I always have been and probably always will be a hopeless romantic. My obvious favorite is the Notebook (ugh I tear up just thinking about Noah and Allie) and just recently enjoyed 27 Dresses and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days but right now I’m at a loss of which others I should re-watch before. So I want to hear from you guys! Gimme a little list: What are your favorite chick flicks?
Continuing our talk of all things girly…today I bring to you our next episode of Drink & Dish with a Valentine’s Day theme! Ari whips up some Red Velvet Whoopie Pies – you can find her recipe over on her blog – and I make a Strawberry Champagne Cocktail:
I may or may not have over-flowed one of those champagne flutes in one of thpse clips haha. Oops! In the video I poured the champagne in last – but after a few more times making this I learned that it goes much smoother if you put the champagne in first
This champagne cocktail is a pretty versatile little drink. It’s easy enough for guys to make and serve for their lovely lady, but could also be served at a party for a group of your girlfriends. You could make it for a romantic evening or just a casual brunch. So many possibilities!
What’s even better is that strawberry puree – whatever you don’t use in the drinks can be used for other things..like ice cream topping. I just mix some of the leftover puree with a few strawberry slices and pour it on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Now you have a slam dunk drink and a backup dessert for later
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 12 ounces champagne
- 1 oz Chambord
- 2 Strawberries to garnish (optional)
Directions:
In the bowl of a food processor combine strawberries, lemon juice and sugar. Puree until smooth and no chunks of strawberry remain. If desired, strain seeds from the strawberry mixture.
Fill two champagne flutes ¾ full with champagne. Pour in ½ oz of Chambord into each flute and top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the strawberry puree mixture.
Garnish with a strawberry and serve.

This looks amazing. I love champagne and anything strawberry. I have only seen the Notebook 2 or 3 times I don’t like to cry. I love The Holiday, Because I Said So, How Do You Know, just to name a few.

Great cocktail! I love ‘chick flicks’ also…they are so much better than ‘male tales’…as I call them!
My all time fav chick flick is ‘Bridesmaids’…so funny!

It looks like we both had champagne on the brain today!
These looks so good and it is totally my kind of drink! As for chick flicks, I love You’ve Got Mail, It’s Complicated, Bridesmaids…so many, but those are the first that came to mind!

So yum! The Proposal is always a good choice (shirtless Ryan Reynolds is never bad), Catch and Release, Dirty Dancing and Top Gun are also sure bets.
