The 1803

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
  • 3 ounces tart cherry juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 3-4 medium-sized strawberries
  • Garnish: Orange peel cut in the shape of Ohio, or a strawberry slice

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Gently muddle strawberries in a cocktail shaker.  You’ll want to press firmly on the berries to release their juices and flavor, but not so hard that you break them into small pieces.

Step 2: Add the vodka, dry vermouth, tart cherry juice, simple syrup, and balsamic vinegar to the cocktail shaker, then fill with ice.

Step 3: Shake until well-chilled and combined.

Step 4: Double-strain your cocktail into a glass.  To double-strain, first remove the lid from your cocktail shaker and replace it with your cocktail strainer.  Then hold a fine mesh kitchen strainer over your glass.  Carefully pour the contents of your shaker through both strainers into your glass.

Step 5: Garnish with an orange peel cut in the shape of Ohio or a strawberry slice and serve immediately.
