Got this from Eat. Drink. Love., adapted slightly for moi.
Ingredients
2-2.5 cups uber-ripe strawberries (hulled), preferrably from a farmers market
2 lemons worth of zest and juice
1/3 cup filtered water
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup champagne
Handful of mint leaves
Directions
Smash the strawberries up, along with lemon zest in a blender. Now, you can either (later) steep the mixture with the mint leaves then strain them (and the seeds) out, or you can zazz them up along with the strawberries and lemon zest here. Up to you!
Meanwhile, bring the sugar and water to a boil, then remove from heat. Make sure to stir so the sugar doesn't burn. This will thicken slightly and be your simple sugar syrup. Allow to cool slightly.
Combine the strawberry mixture with the lemon juice, champagne, and simple sugar syrup. Make sure to taste the awesomeness here...do you want it more sweet? More sour? Play with the flavors to your own palate here.
Place in a bowl and refrigerate for several hours before using your ice cream maker and following your manufacturer's instructions.
