0.5 oz Quinquina

0.25 oz Maraschino Liqueur

0.75 oz fresh squeezed lime juice

0.75 oz homemade Virginia strawberry-coconut cream*

how to prepare

*Virginia strawberry-coconut cream recipe:

  • 1 (13.5oz) can of unsweetened coconut milk
  • 13.5oz of 2:1 sugar-to-water ratio Virginia Strawberry syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Begin by making a rich (2:1 sugar-to-water ratio) Virginia strawberry syrup. Take one cup of water, and two cups of sugar, and add both into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Mix 3 cups of halved strawberries into the saucepan and bring to boil. Boil for about 8 minutes. Reduce heat, simmer and mix for another 5 minutes. Finely strain the mixture and allow to cool. 

Next, add coconut milk toa mixing bowl, scraping partially solidified bits with a spatula. Add salt. Use an immersion blender or electric hand mixer to combine solids and liquid. Add the strawberry syrup to the bowl (this is equal parts – you can use the empty coconut milk can to measure the syrup). 

Continue to blend until combined. Pour into a sealable container and store in the refrigerator.
