Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 scoops per serving vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the green tops and cut the strawberries in half or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Grand Marnier, orange zest, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Add the strawberries to the bowl and gently toss to coat them in the mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, divide the macerated strawberries and their juices among serving bowls or glasses.
Garnish each serving with a couple of fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
If desired, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side or on top for an indulgent touch.
