Every now and again when I get a few minutes of quiet (it’s very rare) to myself, I often think of different recipes..drinks included. I know this is a tough time because we aren’t headed to the grocery store as much as we once were so I looked in my fridge to see what I had there right now. I also hate to waste anything so I’m always trying to use things up before they go bad. I saw a cucumber and some strawberries (Theo eats strawberries every morning for breakfast so we try to keep them stocked). I decided to make a fruit syrup. It’s easy and I’ll tell you how:
Fruit Syrup recipe:
what you need:
4 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp chopped Strawberries, or any fruit you have on hand
1 Tbsp Stevia (just my choice, feel free to use regular sugar)
what you do:
Combine everything in a saucepan and let it cook down for a few minutes.
For this drink I made, add the liquid from the saucepan and soft, cooked berries to cocktail shaker.
Add about one tablespoon of chopped cucumber and muddle with the strawberries and add ice
Add Vodka, Cointreau, and Chambord, shake well
Pour into martini glass and top with Perrier
This drink is super fruity and refreshing, enjoy!
Happy Easter weekend! I don’t know about you but we still plan to dress up on sunday.
Have to stay sane right?
