Ingredients: The balance of fruit, sweetness and herbal flavors
The Absinthe Strawberry is characterized by its balanced mixture of fruity and creamy components, which are complemented by the subtle spice of the anise-free absinthe.
4-6 cl strawberry pulp
1- 2 cl anise-free absinthe
4 cl cream
4 cl mango syrup
4 cl orange juice
Strawberry pulp
The strawberry pulp is the main ingredient of the Absinthe Strawberry, at 4 to 6 cl. The strawberries give the cocktail its fruity sweetness and a vibrant red color that makes it visually appealing. Fresh strawberries or high-quality strawberry pulp give the drink a natural sweetness and fruitiness that harmonizes wonderfully with the other ingredients. The strawberry is a symbol of summer and gives this cocktail a refreshing lightness that is reminiscent of sunny days and relaxed evenings.
Anise-free absinthe
For this cocktail, anise-free absinthe is used in an amount of 1 to 2 cl. This absinthe provides a subtle herbal note that is not dominated by the typical anise taste. The light spiciness of the absinthe complements the fruity aromas of the strawberry pulp and the mango syrup without overloading the cocktail. Absinthe brings depth and complexity to the drink, while the anise-free character keeps the flavor gently in the background.
Cream
The addition of 4 cl of cream makes the Absinthe Strawberry particularly creamy and gives it a velvety texture. The cream harmonizes with the fruitiness of the strawberry pulp and orange juice and ensures a soft, luxurious taste. The cream gives the cocktail a full-bodied note that makes it a real treat – almost like a dessert in a glass. The creamy consistency makes the drink seem pleasant and drinkable, making it a perfect choice for anyone who likes it fruity and soft.
Mango syrup
4 cl of mango syrup adds an exotic sweetness to the cocktail. Mango syrup is known for its intense, sweet taste that is reminiscent of ripe, juicy mangos. In the Absinthe Strawberry, it adds a fruity and slightly tropical note that perfectly complements the strawberry pulp. The syrup gives the cocktail a seductive sweetness, which is however pleasantly balanced by the other ingredients.
Orange juice
Orange juice, also 4 cl, gives the drink a refreshing acidity and a fruity freshness. The light citrus note of the juice harmonizes with the sweetness of the mango syrup and the strawberry pulp, creating a balanced taste experience. The orange juice makes the cocktail invigorating and gives it a certain lightness, which is complemented by the creamy consistency of the cream.
Preparing the Absinthe Strawberry
Preparing the Absinthe Strawberry is uncomplicated and quick, so the cocktail can also be mixed spontaneously. First, all the ingredients – the strawberry pulp, the anise-free absinthe, the cream, the mango syrup and the orange juice – are put into a cocktail shaker. The shaker is then filled with ice cubes and shaken vigorously so that the ingredients mix well and the drink is pleasantly cool. The cocktail is then strained through a bar strainer into a pre-chilled cocktail glass. This way, unwanted ice crystals remain in the shaker and the drink is velvety and clear.
Serving suggestions and decoration
The Absinthe Strawberry is best served in an elegant cocktail glass to show off its bright color and creamy texture. A fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass or an orange zest are ideal for decoration, which gives the cocktail an additional fruity note. A small sprig of mint can also be used as a decoration to give the drink a fresh and appealing look.
