Cut the strawberries into quarter-inch pieces after trimming the ends.

Cut the green grapes in half lengthwise.

Combine all the cut fruits in a large pitcher.

Squeeze in about one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice from one lemon.

Measure out and add 1/4 cup of Spanish brandy to the pitcher.

Slowly add the chilled Spanish cava to the pitcher, mixing gently to avoid overflow.
