Strawberry Daiquiri

// January 3rd, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Cocktails, Recipes, fruit

This drink is awesome in the summer, so get the hang of it during the Winter for a summer you will remember! We like to use golden rum as it has a better taste however the colour will change somewhat.

Juice of 2 Limes
2 tables of icing sugar
125ml of white rum
6 strawberries
dash of strawberry liqueur
approximately 250ml of crushed ice

In a blender, add all of the above ingredients until they are nice and frothy. Pour into a daiquiri glass (preferably enormous) and share with your friends!

Strawberry Soup

// January 3rd, 2008 // No Comments » // Desserts, Recipes, fruit

We thought that we should offer some wisdom about how to actually make Strawberrysoup – so here you are. This dessert is delicious with some cream drizzled on top!

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup strawberry ice cream, use a good quality
1/4 cup whipping cream, divided
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 Mint Sprigs
2 champagne glasses
Easter grass for garnish, optional
a fresh stemmed flower for garnish, optional

Place the strawberries, ice cream, 1 tablespoon whipping cream and lemon juice in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth; pour into a pitcher with a spout to make it easy for pouring into the glasses. This can be done ahead of time, covered and refrigerated.

Whip the remaining whipping cream with the powdered sugar. Carefully pour the soup into the glasses being careful not to disturb the chocolate on the rim. Add a dollop of whipped cream and a mint sprig. Place on a plate and garnish with Easter grass and a flower if desired, and serve.

Wine Recommendation: a light sparkling wine such as Moscato d’Asti
