🥂 Vegetarian | Contains dairy & alcohol
Serves: 3 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Calories: ~250 per serving
Ingredients:
- 12 fresh or frozen strawberries (plus extra slices for garnish)
- 6 oz Baileys Strawberries & Cream (or substitute with original Baileys for a classic twist)
- 3 oz vodka
- 3 oz heavy cream
- 1.5 oz strawberry syrup
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Strawberry slices, for garnish
- Make it extra indulgent: Rim your glasses with crushed freeze-dried strawberries or dip the rims in white chocolate before pouring.
- Frozen version: Blend everything with ice instead of shaking for a frozen treat.
- Non-alcoholic twist: Swap Baileys for strawberry milk or a splash of cream + strawberry syrup to make a mocktail version
Directions:
1. Muddle & Mix
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the strawberries until smooth and juicy. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly first.
2. Shake It Up
Add the Baileys, vodka, heavy cream, strawberry syrup, and a good handful of ice to the shaker. Shake it like you mean it — about 15–20 seconds — until everything is well chilled and blended.
3. Serve in Style
Strain the cocktail evenly into three martini or rocks glasses filled with fresh ice. Top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a slice of strawberry for a picture-perfect finish.
