Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare strawberry puree

If you don't have ready-made puree, hull and quarter 3–4 medium strawberries (about 3 oz). Place in a blender or food processor with a teaspoon of water and blitz until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh if you want a silkier texture with fewer seeds (optional). Measure out 1 oz.

2

Chill glass

Place a martini or coupe glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the drink stays cold.

3

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 6 ice cubes, 2.5 oz Gordon's gin, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz strawberry puree, 0.75 oz pineapple juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (use the syrup only if your strawberries are not very sweet or you prefer a sweeter cocktail).

4

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and dilutes the drink to balance flavors.

5

Strain and serve

Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the mixture (using the shaker strainer and a fine mesh if you strained the puree earlier) into the chilled martini or coupe glass to remove any pulp or ice shards.

6

Garnish

Thread a halved fresh strawberry or place a whole small strawberry on the rim and add a lime wheel or twist to the edge of the glass. Optionally express a lime twist over the drink for an aromatic finish.

7

Serve

Serve immediately while cold. The cocktail yields a bright, slightly fruity martini with a balance of tart lime, sweet strawberry and tropical pineapple notes.
