Strawberry Coconut Collins

It's another mocktail Monday! We are back from our break, and with the weather warming up we wanted to bring on the summer vibes. Its light, its bright, its summer in a glass, and best of all its 100% alcohol free.

Recipe: Strawberry Coconut Collins (N/A)

Ingredients:

• 2 medium strawberries*

• 2 oz coconut water

• 0.5 oz cream of coconut

• 1 oz lemon juice

• ~3 oz club soda

Optional (but highly recommended):

• 1/8 oz imitation rum flavor

• 4 dashes El Guapo Polynesian Kiss bitters

• 4 dashes El Guapo Summer Berries bitters

Build:

1. Add strawberries to a shaker and muddle.

2. Add all ingredients (except soda) to the shaker with ice and shake to chill and combine.

3. Add club soda to the shaker**, then strain into a Collins glass over fresh ice.

4. (Optional) Garnish with a lemon twist.

5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

*I used frozen and thawed strawberries, for a couple of reasons. 1. Fresh aren't readily available yet, and 2. Thawed strawberries muddle way easier!

** adding the soda to the shaker may be a little unconventional, but I believe it gives a better incorporation and distribution in the final drink.
