Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the fresh strawberries and basil leaves under cold water. Remove the green tops from the strawberries and slice them in half.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Strawberries and Basil

    In a cocktail shaker, add the halved strawberries and basil leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the strawberries and basil to release their juices and aromas.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Add the Liquids

    To the muddled mixture in the shaker, add the Vikre cedar gin, Grand Marnier, and fresh lime juice.

  2. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass using a fine-mesh strainer to catch any solids.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a fresh basil sprig and a slice of strawberry on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.
