Summer in Madrid

Loosely based somewhere afloat in the Atlantic between a French 75 and an Aperol Spritz, I bring you Deep Summer. (And yes, our Ginger really did spend a summer in Madrid…)

☀️

what you need

1oz strawberry simple syrup

1/2oz fresh lime juice

(optional) 1oz floral gin (I like The Botanist)

3-4oz prosecco

For strawberry simple syrup: 1 pint of strawberries and equal parts sugar to your water (so, 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar). 

how to make it

Combine strawberry simple, lime juice, and gin (if using) in a cocktail shaker with ample ice. SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. Pour into a tall-stemmed champagne glass (the only kind) and top with prosecco. 

To make strawberry simple syrup: combine 1 pint of fresh strawberries (halved with tops removed) with equal parts water and sugar. Boil on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, remove from heat, allow to cool, and strain into a mason jar. Will keep in the fridge for several weeks.
