One quart of strawberries...
Roasted on smoking hot cast iron.
Remember to turn off the fire alarm.
Puree in blender
Slowly pour over - I'm not a dollop kinda guy.
Lack of agave syrup & substitution of Prosecco - Not a good idea.
Works wonders with beer
Clean and crisp for the

The Redline cocktail was swiped from the Williams-Sonoma blog. Corporate to be sure, the blog features professional and amateur writers contributing useful content that's far from self serving and "free shipping."
The Redline itself seemed a good idea and I gave it a shot Thanksgiving night. A roasted strawberry puree added to a Spanish Cava with a suggestion of agave syrup. I didn't have any agave syrup. Instead, I substituted Prosecco thinking an Italian sparkler would make up for the sweetness I was losing from the missing agave.
Not so much. A tad bitter and boring. What the roasted puree did work well with was beer. Use something simple and clean like Budweiser or Becks. I poured the beer slowly over three fingers of puree in a pilsner glass. It works. A perfect end to Thanksgiving -- Especially since it was 60 degrees outside.

Sounds like the beer version would taste like a Fruli or strawberry lambic. Not terrible, although I prefer Kriek.
