Jersey’s Strawberry Cool Down!

Try this new drink I came up with called the Strawberry Cool Down. It is awesome for summer and taste even better with alcohol!

What you will Need:

1 Pint of Strawberries
1 1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Liter of Water
1/2 Pint of Raspberries
1 Cup of Fresh Lemon Juice
Strainer
Bowl
Pitcher
Lemon Slices
Strawberry Slices
Raspberries

*Before using the fruit make sure it is washed and the stems are removed.*

In a medium-sized pot add sugar, water, and fruit. Stir the ingredients until the sugar dissolves. Let the fruit cook for 30 minutes. Once the fruit has cooked remove from the heat and strain the juice into a heat proof bowl. Disregard the fruit solids. Place the bowl in the fridge and wait for two hours until it’s cooled.

When the juice has cooled pour it into a pitcher and add more water along with the lemon slices. If you need more sugar you can always make more simple syrup to add to your juice.

Simple Syrup recipe 

1 cup or Sugar 

1 cup of Water

*Boil until sugar has dissolved. Cool the syrup down before use.*

In a chilled glass add ice, lemon slices, strawberry slices, and raspberries. Pour the juice over the ice and enjoy. Now if you want to make it a cocktail start with a shot of your favorite tequila and relax.

I hope you enjoy this drink.
