I invented a new end-of-summer drink the color of a tropical sunset.
Sunset Spritzer
Ingredients
1/2 -1 cup of strawberry puree
1-2 cups of orange juice -fresh squeezed is best
1/2 to 1 cup sparkling mineral water, club soda or sparkling wine. champagne is fine.
Ice cubes
Method
Mix chilled purée and o j.  Add the bubbles to taste and pour over ice cubes in a tall tumbler.
Tips
Garnish with fresh strawberris or an orange wheel.
Mint is a nice touch too.
It is your choice to add more purée, juice or sparkling beverage
This is a festive non-alcholic drink, or a light cocktail, depending on the bubbles of choice.
