Strawberry Daiquiri: Beat that heat and make it a romantic evening..


STRAWBERRIES!!!!

Don't you just get tempted by the look of this fruit?


There's more to strawberries than eating them raw and one of the way is making a sexy cocktail for a romantic evening.



I made this for a valentine's day dinner with my fiance and I am glad I did!

It's a simple cocktail and hardly takes 15 minutes to prepare. Usually prepared with white rum, I used vodka instead.
So here's the recipe to beat the heat..

STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI

Ingredients:


  • 12-14 fresh strawberries (you can use a squash, but I prefer fresh strawberries)
  • 2 tablespoon Sugar
  • Vodka
  • Ginger (brings in a nice flavor)
  • Mint leaves 
  • Salt
  • Ice

Method:


In a blender, combine strawberries, sugar, 2 pinches of salt, a zest of ginger, 4-5 mint leaves.

Blend until smooth and you will get a concentrated pulp.


In a glass, add 30ml Vodka, two tablespoons of the pulp, required quantity of cold water and stir well.

Add 3-4 ice cubes and garnish with a mint leaf and a strawberry cut.

Note: 
Makes 4-5 serves
You can add a drink like sprite instead of water if you want it frizzy.

Enjoy your evening!! :)
