Ripe strawberries are one of the best indicators of spring in Ventura County. This dessert cocktail celebrates fresh spring berries while it nods to those that have been distilled into a liqueur.
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe strawberries
- 1½ ounces Ventura Spirits Tallien (strawberry liqueur)
- 1½ ounces bourbon cream
- 1½ ounces half & half or heavy cream (can substitute preferred nondairy milk)
Preparation
Slice 1 strawberry into thin slices. Layer the slices in the bottom and sides of a glass.
In a cocktail shaker, macerate 2 strawberries. Add Tallien, bourbon cream and half & half then add ice to about halfway.
Cover and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with the last strawberry. If desired, top with whipped heavy cream and serve immediately.
