    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Things just got a lot better with this fresh strawberry cocktail. Perfect for those long summer nights.

    I am a sucker for a good cocktail using fresh fruit. The flavor is just so much better and I will admit it makes me fee a bit better thinking that somehow the drink is a little healthier. It's totally ridiculous, but it is what it is, haha. Let me just have this one thing. So when I tell you that my fresh fig margarita or this fresh strawberry cocktail is healthier, smile, nod, and give me an extra splash of the good stuff.

    This recipe comes from a cookbook called The Foreign Cinema from the restaurant from the same name. They are known for their bold flavor pairings and sticking to a meticulous level of quality. This is so apparent in the recipes they share in their cookbook. It embodies everything they stand for without being overly bougie with the ingredients. Now, sometimes it is hard to find specific brands they mention in their recipes, but you can easily use similar substitutes without any issues.

    I fell in love with their cocktail section which had amazing names and incredible flavor profiles. This strawberry cocktail stood out for me the most and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
