Champagne Fruit Salad ... and Drink Recipe

Skip the vodka and rum and go straight to the good stuff. Champagne adds a nice, mild flavor that's not too strong to the fruit, while the fruit adds a sweet kick to the champagne. Once you are ready to serve it, you can take the fruit out of the champagne, put ice in glasses and pour the liquid over the ice, creating a fruity wine. We used the strawberries to top a cheesecake and drizzled just a little champagne over the top. It's also a great tailgating dish.
