Tasting Notes
Tasting the Strawberry Collins, the first thing you notice is the bright, tangy flavor of the lemon juice, which provides a crisp, refreshing start. This tartness is quickly balanced by the sweetness of the strawberry puree and grenadine, creating a harmonious blend that is both sweet and slightly tart.
The gin adds a subtle botanical note that enhances the overall flavor without overpowering the fruitiness of the drink.
As you continue to sip, the club soda adds a pleasant effervescence that lightens the cocktail and makes it incredibly refreshing. The combination of flavors is well-balanced, making each sip enjoyable and easy to drink.
The strawberry puree adds a natural fruitiness that pairs beautifully with the tart lemon and sweet grenadine, while the gin’s botanical notes provide a sophisticated touch to this delightful cocktail.
