Chamomile Strawberry Gin Daisy Cocktail

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Place the strawberry in a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler, smash the strawberry into a purée. (If you don’t have a muddler, you can use a small bowl and the tines of a fork or the handle of a wooden spoon to smash the berry before adding it to the cocktail shaker.)

2. Step 2

   Add the gin, chamomile simple syrup, lemon juice, grenadine and a handful of ice to the shaker. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. Add more chamomile simple syrup and lemon to taste.

3. Step 3

   Strain into a large (8- to 10-ounce) glass or cup. (If you prefer, you can serve over ice as well.) Garnish with strawberry slices or an edible flower, if desired.
