Cocktail Base

2 oz Absolut Vodka

1 oz Amaretto

1/2 oz Triple Sec

2 oz Pomegranate juice

1/2 oz Fresh lime juice

1 1/2 oz Half-and-half (or light cream)

Fruit & Sweetening

3 each Fresh strawberries (hulled)

1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water), adjust to taste

Garnish & Finish

1 cup Ice

1 each Strawberry slice

1 each Lime wheel

1 tsp Pomegranate seeds (optional)

Method

Prepare Fruit

Macerate strawberries

Hull and quarter 3 fresh strawberries. Place them in a small bowl or the bottom of a shaker and add 0.5 oz simple syrup. Lightly muddle (2–4 firm presses) until strawberries break down and release juices but still have some texture.

Mix Cocktail

Add the muddled strawberries and any accumulated juices to a cocktail shaker.

Add 2 oz Absolut vodka, 1 oz Amaretto, 0.5 oz Triple Sec, 2 oz pomegranate juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 1.5 oz half-and-half (or light cream) to the shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice (about 6–8 medium cubes) and secure the lid.

Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and the mixture is well emulsified (the cream will slightly thicken the cocktail).

Strain & Serve

Fill a chilled cocktail glass or coupe with fresh ice (or leave it neat in a coupe if preferred).

Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass using both the shaker strainer and a fine-mesh strainer to remove strawberry pulp and seeds for a smooth texture.

Garnish with a strawberry slice on the rim, a lime wheel, and a teaspoon of pomegranate seeds floated on top if using.

Serve immediately. Give the drink a gentle stir before drinking if separation occurs.
