Strawberry Hennessy Ingredient Notes
Hennessy: A brand of cognac that originates from France. The main ingredient is adding smooth, rich flavor.
Fresh Strawberries: Organic, juicy strawberries are best. When they’re muddled they make a sweet strawberry mixture (like a strawberry puree) that gives the cocktail a naturally sweet, fresh flavor.
Lime Juice: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice when making this cocktail. You can also use lemon juice instead of lime.
Bubbles: You can use any type of Champagne, Prosecco, or if you want to keep it light sparkling water, to make this drink!
How to Make a Strawberry Hennessy Cocktail
- Start by muddling four strawberries in a cocktail shaker.
- Add Hennessy and lime juice then shake well.
- Strain into a glass filled with ice and then top with bubbles. Either club soda or Champagne.
- Serve this drink with strawberry ice cubes for a beautiful presentation.
Recipe Variations
Sweeten It Up: Mix in simple syrup or use pre-made strawberry syrup for a sweeter cocktail.
Switch Up the Fruit: Try raspberries, blueberries, or other seasonal fruits for a fresh twist.
Make a Slushy: Blend all the ingredients with ice for a refreshing Hennessy slushy.
Boost the Flavor: Add 1/2 oz of Grand Marnier for a richer taste or 2 oz of lemonade for a Strawberry Lemonade Hennessy.
Non-Alcoholic Version: For a non-alcoholic twist on this drink, skip the Hennessy and add an extra ounce of club soda or Sprite.
