5 pints (10 cups) fresh strawberries,
1 1/2 cups pineapple juice (chilled),
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice,
3/4 cup superfine sugar,
1 bottle (4/5 quart) champagne or sparkling wine (with or without alcohol) chilled.
To make the strawberry ice cubes: At least 6 hours before party time, wash the berries.
Place 1 small, pretty berry (with leafy hulls attached) in each compartment of 2 standard-size ice cube trays,
then fill with water and freeze.
To prepare the punch:
Remove the hulls from the remaining berries and place them in a food processor. Process for 2 minutes or until
pureed, then transfer to a punch bowl. Stir in the pineapple juice, lemon juice, and sugar; cover and refrigerate.
Just before serving, pour in the champagne and float the strawberry ice cubes on top.
