Recipe Introduction


This is a really good drink – tasty and refreshing, but we didn’t find that muddling really did the job on the strawberries. When muddled, they just sit in the bottom of the drink looking a bit clotty (off putting to say the least) and don’t really flavor the drink. I think that a thorough whizzing with an immersion blender would work better. The recipe also calls for shaking the seltzer with the other ingredients. I’m guessing the cocktail shaker would explode – we added it to the drinks after pouring.
