    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish and slice the rest.

    Make the Strawberry Puree

    In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries and blend until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired.

    Fill a glass with ice cubes. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.

  5. 5

    Top with Ginger Beer

    Pour the ginger beer over the top of the cocktail mixture, filling the glass to the rim.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with reserved whole strawberries and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
