FAQ
What do you need for a Strawberries and Cream cocktail?
30 ml London dry gin, 40 ml Fraise des Bois (wild strawberry) liqueur, 15 ml white crème de cacao and 30 ml single cream or half-and-half. For the garnish, a strawberry and a mint sprig.
What kind of cream is used in a Strawberries and Cream cocktail?
Half-and-half or single cream, shaken unwhipped with the other ingredients; the shake emulsifies it into a light, silky body.
Do you whip the cream for a Strawberries and Cream cocktail?
No. Whipped cream would make the drink too thick to fine-strain cleanly; the shake alone gives it texture.
How do you keep the cream from getting watery in this cocktail?
Use well-chilled cream and give it a short, hard shake over plenty of ice; a long shake over-dilutes it.
