Strawberries are my favorite fruit. I’d love to know how El Super Pan combines strawberries, ginger and lime to make their refreshing Strawberry Ginger Daiquiri. — Carla McMillan, Atlanta
Chef Hector Santiago told us, “This daiquiri is an updated take on the classic strawberry daiquiri. The little touch of ginger gives it our je ne sais quoi.”
Brooklyn-made Barrow’s Intense Ginger Liqueur is available at Toco Giant Package and online. Don Q Cristal should be available at your local package store. Simple syrup is also available at package stores, or you can make your own by warming 1 part granulated sugar with 1 part water in a saucepan or the microwave. When sugar is dissolved, cool syrup and refrigerate until ready to use.
You may be able to find strawberry puree at your grocery store, but Santiago suggests you make your own. In the jar of a blender, puree fresh hulled strawberries or thawed frozen strawberries, and add sugar to taste. You may also want to add a bit of lime juice to the puree if you want to match the flavors in the drink.
Garnishing the drink with a cocktail umbrella adds a fun touch of the tropics.
