The Resurrection (aka Agua de Fresa)

The Story

We took some liberties with the re-naming. What was intended to be a hangover cure with the Resurrection name, turned into a mocktail. This was mainly because all hangover cures are either boring (hydrate), gross (drink pickle juice), or weird (rub lemon on armpits). No thank you.

This refreshing mocktail is sure to be a hit by the glass or by the punchbowl. Just make sure to give yourself plenty of time for the strawberries to steep in the sugar water.

Cheers! And Happy Easter!

The Recipe

4 cups Strawberries (sliced)

1 cup Sugar

8 cups of cold water

1 Lime, cut into 8 wedges

8 sprigs of mint

The Build

Add the strawberries, sugar and one cup of water to a large bowl; stir to combine

Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in fridge for 4 hours

Pour mixture into a blender or use an immersion blender and blend until smooth

Using a large fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture through into a large bowl

Add remaining 7 cups of water to the strawberry mixture and stir to combine

Fill glass with ice and pour in strawberry water

Garnish with lime wedge and mint

Strawberry Mule (mocktail)

The Story

Sometimes you just want something simple. If that’s you, this one might hit the spot. Our first attempt accounted for all the ginger (root and beer) and it was pretty strong. If you dig ginger, it’s still good. But you could cut the ginger root in half, or even cut it out entirely if you like. The flavor of muddled strawberries and ginger beer is pretty good all on it’s own.

Cheers!

The Recipe

1 tsp Fresh Ginger Root (finely grated)

3 Fresh Strawberries

Ginger Beer

The Build

Add grated ginger and strawberries to a highball glass and muddle

Fill the glass with ice and top with ginger beer

Give everything a gentle stir to combine the flavors

Serve with 2 straws and garnish with strawberry (optional)

Strawberry Booster – mocktail

The Story

This mocktail packs a few surprises, and the biggest is that it is complex. When we set out to make a mocktail menu for “dry January” the main goal was not to make a bunch of smoothies and Shirley Temples. While the Strawberry Booster is a blended drink, it has so many flavors that it feels like a cocktail and not a smoothie.

Sweetened with honey and sitting on a virgin hot toddy of lemon, hot water, and mint. The complexity arrives with the marriage of strawberry and balsamic vinegar. This isn’t as strange a combo as you might think, but not necessarily found in a lot of drinks. All combined it is complicated and an easy sipper. Definitely an elevated smoothie.

Cheers!

The Recipe

2 tbls Raw Honey

Lemon Juice of one lemon

Pinch of Salt

1.5oz Hot Water

4-6 Mint Leaves

4-5 Strawberries

Dash of Balsamic Vinegar

Garnish with Mint Sprig and use a short straw

The Build

In a blender add honey, lemon juice, salt, hot water, and mint (immersion blender works too)

Blend ingredients for 5 seconds

Chop strawberries into quarters and add to blender, blend until smooth

Add a dash of balsamic vinegar and blend again for 5-10 seconds

Prepare tulip glass with fresh ice and open pour mixture over ice, leaving 1 inch

Add cold water to top of drink

Garnish with fresh mint
