I served this cocktail for the first time at a wedding shower and it was a hit! Since then I make it whenever strawberries are in season. I have substituted raspberries when I had them on hand and it was great!

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 fresh strawberry, plus more slices for garnish
2 ounces gin
1 tablespoon Chamomile Simple Syrup, plus more to taste
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon grenadine
Ice
1 organic edible flower, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

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.)
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.
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.
