Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 strawberries hulled
- ¾ oz honey syrup
- 2 oz Waterloo Prickly Pear & Rose Gin
- ¾ oz lime juice
- 1 heaping tsp Greek yogurt
- Dash vanilla extract
- 2 heart shape gummy candies for garnish
Instructions
- To a cocktail shaker - Add strawberries and honey syrup. Muddle firmly to until strawberries are broken down.
- Add Waterloo Prickly Pear & Rose Gin, lime juice, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract and ice. Shake for about 30 seconds until smooth and well chilled.
- Strain into a cocktail glass over ice.
- For cupid’s arrow garnish - Place 1 heart candy on a long toothpick or skewer with the pointed edge facing out forming the tip of the arrow. Cut the other gummy candy into 3 v-shaped pieces, starting from the top of the heart. Place the 3 pieces on the other side of the skewer, spacing them out slightly as the “feather” of the arrow.
Notes
- Shake thoroughly: Thick yogurt needs a really good shake. Make sure everything is fully combined before straining.
- Straining: Muddled strawberries can sometimes clog your strainer. Try a fine mesh strainer if you need.
- Make it a mocktail: Sub the gin for coconut water or chamomile tea.
