THE ADULT STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 oz. Vanilla Rum

1/2 oz. Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth

1/2 oz. Fragoli Liqueur

3/4 oz. Heavy Cream

3/4 oz. Simple syrup

2 Fresh Strawberries

1/2 Strawberry puree or Strawberry Jam

1 Meringue for Garnish

PREPARATION:

Do you feel like indulging today? I do! And what about indulging and feeling like a kid? How about a milkshake… with alcohol?

Start with a mixing glass and muddle your strawberries with the Simple Syrup. Next add the remaining ingredients and dry shake for 15 seconds. In case you don’t know, ‘dry shake’ just means means shaking without spilling …KIDDING! It means shaking hard without ice. You would do that when you have cocktails made with cream because when you dry shake them first it makes them fluffy.

Now lets add ice and keep shaking to chill the drink.. yum now time to serve and DRINK! Strain and pour into a crushed meringue rimmed chilled martini glass.

The color is creamy pink just like an old fashioned milkshake. The vanilla aromas pair perfectly with the freshness of the strawberries and the taste is rich and creamy. This is the perfect cocktail for your summer days by the pool and warm summer  evenings and really well ALL the other evenings in between. Nostalgia in a glass!
