More information...

The Strawberry Field cocktail is a delightful non-alcoholic drink that captures the essence of summer in a glass. With its vibrant color and refreshing taste, it is perfect for those who wish to enjoy a sophisticated beverage without the effects of alcohol. This cocktail is not just a drink; it is an experience that brings together the sweetness of fresh strawberries, the herbal notes of Everleaf Mountain, and the delicate floral hints of orange blossom water.

To create the Strawberry Field, you start with six fresh, ripe strawberries. These berries are the star of the show, providing a natural sweetness and a beautiful red hue that is visually appealing. The process begins by hulling the strawberries and muddling them at the base of a shaker. Muddling releases the juices and flavors of the strawberries, setting the foundation for the cocktail.

Next, the recipe calls for 60 ml of Everleaf Mountain Non-Alcoholic Aperitif. Everleaf is a unique product that combines various botanicals to create a complex flavor profile without the alcohol. It adds depth to the drink, making it feel more like a traditional cocktail. The addition of 20 ml of verjuice, which is the juice of unripe grapes, introduces a tartness that balances the sweetness of the strawberries and honey syrup. The honey syrup, made from three parts honey to one part water, adds a rich sweetness that enhances the overall flavor.

A touch of orange blossom water, measured at just 1.25 ml, brings a fragrant floral note that elevates the drink to a new level. This ingredient is often used in Middle Eastern cuisine and adds an exotic twist to the cocktail. The combination of these ingredients creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is both refreshing and satisfying.

Once all the ingredients are combined, the shaker is filled with ice, and the mixture is shaken vigorously. This not only chills the drink but also ensures that all the flavors meld together beautifully. After shaking, the cocktail is fine strained into a pre-chilled coupe glass, which adds an elegant touch to the presentation. A fresh strawberry garnish on the rim of the glass completes the look, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

With only 150 calories and 0% alcohol by volume, the Strawberry Field is a guilt-free indulgence. It is perfect for those who are looking to enjoy a refreshing drink without the effects of alcohol, making it an excellent choice for designated drivers, pregnant women, or anyone who prefers to abstain from alcohol. The drink's nutritional value is appealing, as it contains no pure alcohol and is low in calories, allowing you to enjoy it without worry.

In a world where cocktails often come with high alcohol content, the Strawberry Field stands out as a sophisticated alternative. It invites you to savor the flavors of summer, making it an ideal choice for warm days, garden parties, or simply as a refreshing treat at home. Whether you are a cocktail enthusiast or someone looking for a delightful non-alcoholic option, the Strawberry Field is sure to impress with its vibrant flavors and elegant presentation.

While substitutions can be made, it's important to choose ingredients with similar flavors to maintain the drink's balance.

Can I substitute alcohol brands, or even different alcohol, in a cocktail or drink recipe?

Yes, different brands may have a very similar taste profile, so may still create what the recipe intended. But keep in mind, some brands can also vary significantly in taste, so some may work better than others. Changing the alcohol to a different type (eg. Gin to Vodka) may have undesirable effects.

What was the first cocktail invented and where?

Many agree that the first cocktail ever invented was the Sazerac in the mid-1800s in New Orleans. The Sazerac, a blend of whiskey, absinthe, bitters, and sugar, made it a unique and recognizable cocktail.

How did the name 'cocktails' come to be?

The etymology is believed to have come from a New Orleans apothecary, and inventor, Antoine Amédée Peychaud, who served brandy with his bitters in eggcups in the late 18th century.

The french word for eggcup is coquetier.

The story goes, that it was difficult to pronounce coquetier, was likely mis-pronounced, and quickly the word cocktail caught on as a new word.
