Review

Takes some getting through the fine strainer, but when you do it's simply strawberries and cream with the faintest hint of alcohol. Wimbledon is all about strawberries & cream.

Como sou brasileiro usei licor de morango da Stock, e no lugar do single cream americano, fiz half and half de creme de leite fresco e leite pasteurizado de qualidade, aqueles utilizados em gelatos. O resultado for surpreendente, facilmente um drink de 40 reais vendido nesses bares, um drink que agrada maioria dos paladares, sem perder a complexidade que o creme improvisado com o rum traz.

If you are lucky enough to be able to get hold of a high end creamy yoghurt made using micro filtration than substitute it for the cream and you'll be in for a treat. I used Snowville creamery's plain yoghurt with 6% fat.
