Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Chill a highball or Collins glass by filling it with ice and cold water while you prepare the cocktail (about 1–2 minutes). Discard the chilling ice and water right before straining the drink into the glass.

Mix

In a cocktail shaker, add 60 ml pink gin, 30 ml strawberry purée, 45 ml fresh orange juice, 45 ml pineapple juice, and 15 ml fresh lime juice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add 10 ml simple syrup.

Shake with ice

Fill the shaker with ice (enough to 3/4 fill), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker feels well chilled and slightly frosty.

Strain and serve

Discard the chilling ice from your glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled highball/Collins glass filled with fresh cubed ice to remove small strawberry solids for a smoother texture.

Garnish and finish

Float a thin lime wheel on the surface and spear a fresh strawberry on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw.
