Not Another Drink Called Strawberry Fields

Genever blends beautifully with strawberry, vanilla, and graham-cracker infused cream in this dreamy dessert cocktail.

Ingredients

1 whole strawberry
1 1/2 oz. genever
1 oz. vanilla syrup
1 oz. graham-cracker infused cream
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1 fresh egg white (pasteurized, if you like)
Club soda, to top

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:Collins
Garnish:skewered strawberry slices

Preparation

In a shaker tin, muddle the strawberry, then add the remaining ingredients and dry shake. Add ice and shake again to chill. Strain into a Collins glass, top with soda and garnish.

Graham Cracker-Infused Cream: Crumble 4 cinnamon graham crackers and add to 8 ounces of heavy cream. Leave to infuse for about 3 hours, then strain.

Vanilla Syrup: Make 1 cup of 1:1 simple syrup. Add 1 split vanilla bean and let infuse for 2 hours as the syrup comes down to room temperature. Strain and bottle for up to 2 weeks.
