With more sunshine, my give up-of-day aim is to spend a few moments putzing in my garden. this means dinner includes simple recipes, served with smooth but delicious beverages, like smashes. these smashes make up a whole new international of cocktails with endless options for muddling, mixing, and of path sipping. This one is simply ideal for today’s 10-Minute happy Hour.
Ingredients
For a pitcher:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 2 cups gin
- 3 cups club soda
- Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
For a single drink:
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 lime wedge
- 3 fresh strawberries, 2 hulled and sliced and 1 reserved for garnish
- 3 ounces gin
- Club soda
- Fresh mint sprig, for garnish
Instructions
For a pitcher:
- Muddle the sugar and limes in a pitcher that holds at least 8 cups (64 ounces). Set aside 6 to 8 small strawberries and make a small slice in their tips. Hull and slice the remaining strawberries and muddle the slices lightly with the sugar and lime juice.
- Stir in the gin and club soda and pack the pitcher full of ice. Add mint sprigs to garnish. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with a strawberry, slotted onto the edge of the glass.
For a single drink:
- In a tall glass, combine the sugar and a squeeze of juice from the lime wedge. Muddle with the back of a spoon to dissolve the sugar. Add the sliced strawberries and lightly muddle.
- Fill the glass with ice and add the gin. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with the last strawberry and a sprig of mint.
Notes:Make-ahead: You can make this pitcher ahead; mix everything except the club soda and ice, then refrigerate overnight. A night in the fridge will also help the strawberries add more flavor and color to the drink.
