Ingredients
- 2 oz La Boite American Amaro
- 1 oz charred strawberry puree (see recipe below)
- 1 oz lemon juice
- Seltzer water
- -
- Fresh strawberry
- Thin slices of lemon
- Mint leaves
- -
- 1 pound ripe strawberries
- ¼ cup sugar, or to taste
Directions
- Wash and blot the strawberries dry.
- Trip off the tops and split them in half, making 2 wide and flat halves.
- Line the strawberry halves onto a foil lined baking try and preheat the broiler with the oven rack closer to the flame.
- Broil the tray of strawberries under the broiler until the strawberries are caramelized.
- Remove the tray from the broiler and transfer the fruit to a blender, using a silicon spatula to scrape in all of the juices – don’t waste any of the precious flavor.
- Add the sugar, blend until smooth, and strain the puree through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. If the puree is very thick, you can add a little lemon juice to thin it out and strain it easier.
- Refrigerate the puree to chill completely.
- For each cocktail, fill a tall glass with ice and add the amaro, charred strawberry puree, and lemon juice to combine well.
- Top with chilled soda water and garnish with strawberry, lemon slices, and plenty of aromatic mint.
