This was a lovely cocktail. Refreshing and not overly sweet (we did lessen the sugar syrup). After we were half done, we did add a float of 151 and it was wonderful.

I tried with

75 ml White Rum
45 ml Strawberry Puree
30 ml Lime
30 ml Simple Syrup
Top with Whipping Cream

Whipping cream created a wow effect for my friends. Also can mix it after drinking for a while and it will become another drink.

I tried following the recipe but the blended mix was so dense that it immediately clogged the fine mesh. I tried pouring it back and forth + washing the mesh between pours bit I don't think this is how it is supposed to be.

Sounds like your strainer is too fine. Perhaps invest in a Cocktail Kingdom Coco Fine Strainer.

Same problem. I gave up and made it with strawberry liqueur instead of fresh strawberries (which I used to garnish).

Can you use frozen strawberries to make this? If so, would you reduce the amount of crushed ice to compensate. Thanks

Matt Diller 3y

Yes. Anders Erickson has a frozen strawberry margarita recipe where he uses 1-1.5 cups of frozen strawberries and 0.25-0.5 cups of crushed ice.

Well I think I did something wrong. I doubled up all ingredients (including the ice) to make two drinks. Turned out very watery and bkand. Maybe I should have just used 6oz for both drinks instead of 12oz (doh!)

Should we fine strain the frozen cocktails, or is this just a typo? Also in some recipes of frozen cocktails you indicate "half a scoop of crushed ice". Is always 6oz of crushed ice the appropriate amount? Thank you in advance

With the right fine strainer (e.g. a Coco strainer), fine straining some blended cocktails works really well and is something I picked up in Cuba. The amount of crushed ice is more tricky and varies by cocktail but half a scoop (6oz) is my default.
