Soli Pin Gin and Strawberry Milkshake

Milkshake Ingredients You’ll Need

To embark on this culinary journey, gather the following ingredients:

• 200g fresh, ripe strawberries (or frozen alternative)
• 50ml Soli Pink Gin
• 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
• 100ml whole milk
• 1 tablespoon of strawberry syrup
• Whipped cream for garnish
• Fresh strawberries for garnish
• Crushed ice

Strawberry Selection for milkshake

The strawberries are the foundation of any great Pink Gin and Strawberry Milkshake. Opt for ripe, vibrant strawberries that are at their peak sweetness. Wash and hull the strawberries, ensuring they are fresh and ready to be blended into the milkshake.

Blending the Ingredients

Combine the fresh strawberries, gin, vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and strawberry syrup in a powerful blender. Blend on a medium setting until the mixture becomes smooth and velvety. Depending on your blender’s power, this process should take around 2 minutes.

Preparing the Glass

Take a tall, elegant glass and drizzle some strawberry syrup inside down the sides of the glass. This adds a touch of visual appeal and infuses the milkshake with an extra hint of strawberry flavour. Additionally, add crushed ice to the glass to keep the milkshake chilled.

Pouring and Garnishing

Once your milkshake mixture is perfectly blended, gently pour it into the prepared glass. Leave a bit of room at the top to accommodate the whipped cream. On top of the milkshake, pipe a generous swirl of whipped cream. To elevate the aesthetics, crown the cream with a fresh strawberry.

A Perfect Harmony of Flavours

The Pink Gin and Strawberry Milkshake is a balanced symphony of flavours. The juniper notes of the gin intertwine beautifully with the sweetness of ripe strawberries. At the same time, the creaminess of vanilla ice cream and whole milk creates a luscious texture that dances on your palate.

Customizing Your Creation

While our recipe offers a perfect balance, feel free to experiment and customize your Pink Gin and Strawberry Milkshake to match your taste preferences. You can adjust the amount of gin for a stronger or milder alcoholic kick. More strawberry syrup can do wonders if you have a penchant for sweeter treats.

Using Other Fruits in milkshake

Strawberries may not always be in season. In such cases, you can adapt this recipe by substituting strawberries with other fruits that complement the gin’s profile. Raspberries, blueberries, or even a combination of mixed berries can work splendidly. Ensure your fruit is ripe (or frozen) and flavourful to achieve the best results.
