Level of Complexity: Cocktail Connoisseur

Fruity, refreshing, and not too sweet. If you like spicy margaritas then give this a go. It has a mild spice from the Ancho Reyes liqueur and is perfect for an afternoon patio bbq sesh.

Ingredients

• 1.75 oz Kiss Strawberry Eau de Vie
•  0.75 Ancho Reyes Poblano
•  3 strawberries 
•  0.5 oz honey syrup* 
•  0.75 oz lemon juice 
•  2oz Nomad Dry Cider

Method 

In a shaking tin muddle the strawberries. Add the lemon juice, then honey syrup then the two spirits and shake on ice for a good ten seconds or until the shakers feel icy.  That’s a sign that the drink is cold enough and diluted enough.

Then double strain in to a Collins glass over ice and top with the cider.  If you want to get fancy at home you can garnish with a strawberry fan.  Pop a (non plastic) straw in and enjoy this delightful summer quencher.

*Honey Syrup

• 1 cup honey
•  1/2 cup water

Method 

Add to a pot and bring to a boil.  Leave to cool and keep in a sealed container in the fridge.
