Equipment
- Small skillet
Ingredients
Charred Strawberry Puree
- 1 1/2 cup strawberries leaves removed
- 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
- Splash water
Cocktail
- 3/4 oz charred strawberry puree
- 2 oz whiskey
- 3/4 oz lemon juice
- 1/2 oz maple syrup
- 1 egg white
- Charred strawberries for garnish
- Edible flowers for garnish
Instructions
Charred Strawberry Puree
- Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add avocado oil. Add strawberries and cook, turning occasionally until all sides are charred, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Add the strawberries and a splash of water to a blender and blend until smooth.
Cocktail
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously until foamy. Strain into a cocktail glass with ice. If desired, garnish with a charred strawberry and edible flowers.
Notes
- Keep unwanted pulp and seeds out of your drink. Double strain the mixture if you feel necessary.
- For an ultra-foamy top, dry shake (without ice) for 15 seconds then add ice and shake again.
- Chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring the cocktail to give the foam time to settle.
