Our inspiration for Sunday Supper today is a music-inspired recipe.
As I sat there sipping my newest seasonal creation – a Strawberry Tequila – it struck me, like a d’oh forehead bonk: “Strawberry Fields Forever,” by the Beatles.
A classic song deserves its own cocktail, don’t you think?
Here, then, at the height of the California strawberry season, when the fruit just can’t get any redder or any sweeter, I present Strawberry Tequila.
(And if you like this one, you should also try my Strawberry-Infused Vodka. Oh yeah, I got all the teachers at my son’s elementary school hooked on that!)
Recipe: Strawberry Tequila
Summary: A wonderfully fresh tasting strawberry-flavored tequila to drink neat or over ice. Make as little or as much of this as you dare.
Ingredients
- Fresh California strawberries
- Tequila (decent quality!)
Instructions
Wash, dry and remove stems from strawberries. Halve them and put them into a lidded container or pitcher. Cover strawberries with tequila and allow to steep for 4-7 days. The strawberries will relinquish their color and flavor to the tequila.- When ready to use, strain, discard berries (which will appear nearly white), and drink the Strawberry Tequila “neat,” over crushed ice, or use it in a mixed cocktail – perhaps with a splash of Cointreau and lime juice.
- How much does it make? As much as you want! How about starting with a basket of strawberries, and seeing if you enjoy it; then make more!
