LWC - Strawberry Cocktails





Lisa's Weekly Coffee: Strawberry Cocktails




I love Strawberries because they easily blend well in cocktails, mock tails, drinks and shakes. They make desserts look and taste perfectly delicious. Today I'm featuring a three truly unique and deliciously chic`starwberry cocktails.

The Pretty Woman which is not only chic but refreshing as well. Ciao Baby....." oooo la la" you will need the Collins mix in this, I love this one and dear friends I'm sure you will love it as well.
If you are looking to serve something special with your dessert then the Strawberry Prosecco Cocktail is the one.

30ml malibu

30ml midori

2 large scoops (Finely Crushed) Ice

30ml strawberry liqueur

5 strawberries



1. Blend Malibu, Midori and 1 scoop of ice until a liquid. 2. Seperatly, blend the Straberries, the strawberry Liqueuer and another large scoop of ice untill icy. 3. Pour the first mixture into a 10oz Hurricane Glass. 4. Pour the second mixture on top of the first, make sure they remain seperate (the second mixture should be layered atop the first one, they souldn't mix much) 5. Use the remining Strawberry, cut a slit in it and place it on the rim of the glass to garnish and stick a little umbrella through it. Don't forget a straw. That's it, enjoy your cold icy cocktail!


The cocktail, when made will have 2 distinguishable colors. Green on the bottom and a pink layer on top of it. Though this is good for presentation, the green layer is quite strong, I suggest stiring with the straw a little before drinking to mix the two together.
