Ingredients

  • 10 strawberries approx, less if large (plus more for 'ice cubes' if you like)
  • 4 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice (approx ½ lemon)
  • 3 oz gin
  • 1 teaspoon pomegranate syrup/molasses optional, or a little more to taste
  • soda water
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you'd like strawberry 'ice cubes', freeze a few strawberries on a tray until frozen: it should take a few hours. Then transfer to a container until you are ready to use them. They'll keep for a number of months. (Plus, hey look pretty, don't dilute your drink and you can eat them after!)
  2. Puree the strawberries in a small blender then mix in the sugar until it dissolves.
  3. Put 1 tablespoon of lemon juice each in the bottom of two glasses. Then add 1 ½oz of gin to each as well. Divide the strawberry puree between the two glasses (you can strain it if you'd like to try to remove some of the seeds) and stir the mixture. Alternatively, place all of these ingredients (lemon juice, gin and strawberry puree) in a cocktail shaker and shake to mix, if you like with some ice, then divide between the two glasses.
  4. Add the frozen strawberries to the glasses along with one or two ice cubes, if you'd like/if needed. Then top up the glasses with soda water.
  5. Drizzle around ½ teaspoon of pomegranate syrup/molasses over each glass and stir through before drinking.
