Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 ml Drambuie liqueur
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 5 pieces fresh mint leaves
- 100 ml whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Hull the strawberries (remove the green tops) and slice them in half. If the strawberries are large, quarter them instead.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Gently toss until the strawberries are evenly coated.
Pour the Drambuie liqueur over the strawberries and toss again to ensure the liqueur is distributed evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the strawberries marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Before serving, gently stir the strawberries to redistribute the marinade.
Divide the marinated strawberries into serving bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Serve immediately and enjoy the luscious combination of Drambuie's honey-sweet flavor with the vibrant strawberries.
