Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash the fresh strawberries under cold water, remove the stems, and slice them into halves.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, Ouzo 12, and lemon juice. Add the sliced strawberries and muddle gently to release the strawberry flavor.

  3. 3

    Shake it Up

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.

Serving

    Strain and Pour

    Strain the cocktail mixture into a chilled glass, filling it about halfway.

  2. 5

    Top with Prosecco

    Slowly pour the Prosecco over the cocktail mixture, allowing it to float on top for a layered effect.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
