After returning from a day down the coast, Ben and Dean arrived at my place for a few drinks before a going-away party for a friend down the road. Trouble was they were both incredibly burnt which is never a nice feeling, particulary before heading to a social gathering.
In the process of gaining some liquid conifidence before heading to the party (or in Ben and Dean's case; something to dull the pain...), we got to work at making some drinks. After raiding the fridge for some ingredients, I came across some blueberries and strawberries. I knew I would need to use them in a drink now I had a craving for them.
So from the berries, coupled with a desire to use gin in a cocktail; Comes a tribute to Dean and Ben's suffering...
Sunburn.
- 6 Strawberries, Quartered
- 10 Blueberries
- 10ml Lime Juice
- Simple Sugar Syrup
- 30ml Tanqueray Gin
- 15ml Cointreau
Muddle the berries, add ice and remaining ingredients. Shake and strain onto ice. Garnish with strawberry slices and whole blueberries. Top with soda water if needed.
