Bubbly strawberry sorbet with Bridge Lane Bubbly (credit: Felicia LaLomia).

Sure, it’s a little early for strawberry season. Typically, the height of June is when we head out to the fields to fill the little blue cartons with mounds of tiny berries. But luckily, Catapano Farms has them a little earlier — and they are sweet, delicious and perfect for today’s recipe.

In this series, reporter Felicia LaLomia takes you through how to cook with booze. And, of course, she will be trying lots of it along the way.

In this episode, just four ingredients — ruby red strawberries, lemon, honey and some Bridge Lane Bubbly — are blended and frozen to create a zesty, pink, boozy dream of a dessert.
