2 oz Bourbon - Redemption High-Rye Bourbon
2 oz Strawberry Puree - fresh
1/2 oz Coriander Syrup *
1/2 tsp Lemon Juice - fresh
Preparation:
Puree about 3 heaping tablespoons of fresh strawberries in a blender. Add puree, bourbon, coriander syrup, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Shake vigorously and double-strain into a small cocktail glass.
Description:
It starts with a bit of lemon and rye in the nose, with surprisingly little strawberry aroma. Then an incredibly smooth mouthfeel, with strawberry and coriander up front, followed by a nice long strawberry and bourbon finish. It leaves a slightly tingly rye spice on the tongue. I think the Redemption works well here. It really grew on me, though I'm not sure it was worth the trouble. Strawberry Blondes rarely are.
