Foxtail Recipe

Prepare glass

If desired, chill a rocks glass or coupe by filling with ice and setting aside while you prepare the cocktail.

Build & shake

In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, combine 2 oz strawberry-infused gin, 0.5 oz amaretto, 0.5 oz El Guapo orgeat, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional for extra sweetness), and 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Prepare serving glass

Discard ice from the chilled glass (if used). Fill the glass with fresh crushed or cracked ice (about 1 cup) if serving on the rocks; or strain into a chilled coupe for a straighter presentation.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail over the prepared ice (or into the coupe) using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the lime or strawberry infusion.

Finish

Gently tap 1 tsp toasted almond slivers over the top so some sit on the surface and others fall into the glass. Add 2–3 drops of Angostura bitters on top of the foam/ surface if you like aromatic notes (optional).

Garnish the cocktail with a sliced fresh strawberry or a strawberry fan on the rim, and optionally a mint sprig tucked alongside. Serve immediately.
