Ole Miss is playing in their first game at the College World Series tonight which means nerves will be high and cocktails will be consumed.
A new invention coming out of our kitchen tonight for this game: Strawberry Smash
- 3-4 Mint Leaves
- 2-3 Strawberries (hulled)
- 2oz Gin (can be subbed for vodka)
- 1 oz Lime (freshly squeezed ids best!)
- 1 tsp Sugar
- Prosecco to top
-In a cocktail shaker, muddle the sugar, mint, strawberries and lime. Add in the gin (Hendricks is wonderful in this cocktail) add ice and shake.
Pour in a highball glass and top with Prosecco and additional garnishes so you feel like a fruity lil queen when you drink it.
Mr. Walters subbed the gin for bourbon and the Prosecco for ginger beer. His review: “If the Rebs don’t win, at least we have these cocktails to make us feel good.”
Thank you for indulging with us!
