Cocktail

Method

Prep

1

Chill glass

Place a coupe or martini-style glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.

2

Optional sugar rim

If rimming, rub the glass edge with a lime wedge, then dip into coarse or superfine sugar spread on a small plate. Set glass aside.

Mixing

3

Add 2 fl oz house-infused strawberry vodka, 0.75 fl oz triple sec, 0.75 fl oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 fl oz simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.

4

Fill the shaker with ice so it is about two-thirds full (approximately 1 cup of ice).

5

Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

6

Discard ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any strawberry solids from the infused vodka.

Garnish & Serve

7

Thread or place a thin slice or fan of fresh strawberry on the rim or float it on the surface of the cocktail. Add a lime wheel on the rim or float alongside the strawberry for color and aromatics.

8

Serve immediately. Recommend advising guests that the cocktail is bright, slightly sweet with a citrus backbone and prominent strawberry aroma from the infused vodka.
