Flaming Strawberry

When the drinks on fire, you know you are in for a good time. This is the Flaming Strawberry.

It has been said before that the look of a drink a lot of the time is what will tempt people into trying them for the first time. The Flaming Strawberry is very much a stunning looking cocktail that does take a longer to prepare than your average drink but ends up being well worth it. If you are new to drinks making , you might want to make more simpler cocktails first to pick up some skills and experience before attempting a drink like this. But if you are starting to love the more artistic and creative side of cocktail making , then this is a must try.

The Flaming Strawberry is not just all looks, it packs a lot of flavour as well. The sweet fruity flavours of the roasted strawberries and Banana Liqueur pair together so well and give the drink a smooth pleasant flavour that is very addictive. As well as this the Pineapple and Lime juices add to the balance of sweet and sour that is going on which is a main staple in a good drink. The addition of bitters tops it off with its own unique taste depending on your preference of bitters (in this we used regular Angostura Aromatic Bitters and it tasted phenomenal).

The word “Craft Cocktails” is often used to describe drinks that look aesthetically pleasing and almost like art. The Flaming Strawberry definitely suites this description and tastes as good as it looks. So, if you are looking for the next step in improving your drinks making skills, look no further and give the Flaming Strawberry a go. Here is how it is made.
