Strawberry collins

We love using mezcal in cocktails, and this strawberry collins from Los Mochis restaurant in London pairs it with grapefruit soda and lime juice for a zingy and refreshing mix. A perfect use of on-the-turn strawberries.

Method

  1. Rinse the strawberries under cold running water, then pick off the green tops. Slice and put in a medium saucepan with the water.
  2. Bring the water to the boil, then reduce to a medium simmer and let the strawberries cook for 15 minutes. Skim and discard any foam that rises to the top.
  3. Strain the strawberry liquid through a fine sieve into another clean saucepan (discard the strawberries). Add the sugar then bring back to the boil, stirring to help dissolve the sugar. Simmer the syrup for 5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved, skimming any additional foam that rises to the top.
  4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Pour into a container, seal and refrigerate.
  5. To make the cocktail, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a highball (collins) glass, then dip in salt. Fill the glass a third of the way up with ice then pour over the mezcal, lime juice and strawberry syrup. Give it a stir and top up with grapefruit soda.
