20ml 42 Below feijoa vodka

Method

 

Muddle the strawberries and thyme with the tequila in a cocktail shaker. Alternatively, use the end of
a rolling pin in a larger container to gently pound these ingredients together. Add the lime juice, cordial and vodka, top up with ice and shake for 1 minute. Strain into a jug, then strain a second time into two coupe glasses. Garnish each with half a strawberry on the rim and a thyme sprig curled
up the stem of the glass.
