I was really excited to discover this recipe just when I was wondering what to do with my strawberry liqueur and raspberry syrup. What a combination! Imagine a Collins with fresh summer flavors. It is a great time of year to preserve fresh fruit in alcohol and use it in cocktails.
For the strawberry liqueur, I simply made a cooked strawberry syrup and added alcohol. See my recipe for the
Belmont Stakes for this. In fact, if you have strawberry syrup on hand at all, just add a little rum or vodka and you have something like
liqueur fraise in no time at all.
- 2 oz. gin
- 1 oz. strawberry liqueur
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- club soda
- lemon twist
- whole strawberry
Combine gin, lemon juice, sugar and strawberry liqueur in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled Collins glass full of ice. Top with soda and stir. Garnish with lemon twist and whole strawberry.
