Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Muddler
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Jigger
  • Bar spoon
  • Chilled cocktail glass
  • Small knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

  • 4-5 fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 oz vodka plain or vanilla works
  • 1 oz strawberry liqueur or strawberry syrup
  • 1 oz cream liqueur e.g., Baileys
  • 1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup optional, to taste
  • ice cubes for shaking
  • fresh strawberry or mint leaf for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the sliced strawberries to a cocktail shaker and muddle until very juicy.
  • Add the vodka, strawberry liqueur, cream liqueur, heavy cream, and optional simple syrup.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15 seconds until thoroughly chilled.
  • Double strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail glass.
  • Garnish with a strawberry slice or mint leaf and serve immediately.

Notes

Fresh ripe strawberries give the best color and flavor. Frozen strawberries can be used but may thin the texture. Swap cream liqueur for milk or almond milk for a lighter version. Chill the glass ahead of time. Optional: add a sugar rim or a drizzle of strawberry syrup for extra sweetness.
