Strawberry Sour
Strawberry Sour is a strawberry cocktail, a bit like a frozen daiquiri or margarita. The main differences are that it is more tangy than sweet and doesn’t contain strawberry liqueur, which in my unsophisticated opinion, smells like strawberry lipgloss. I have strawberries and raspberry cordial in the house more often than strawberry liqueur.
Raspberry cordial makes the colour a weirdly bright red. If you can’t bear the artificial colouring replace the cordial with a sweetener of your choice. Caster sugar will do. It will be pale pink instead.
Confession: This recipe is inspired by the sourness of a Zulu Warrior, which has a few more ingredients, including strawberry liqueur, Midori and melon.
Recipients: Cocktail lovers who like to sip their drinks.
Type: Frozen

ANECDOTE
More than ten years ago, we used to start Summer nights with Zulu Warriors at the Florida Beach Bar, Terrigal. Then they didn’t make them anymore. So now we make these ourselves.
