Strawberry Fields Forever - Brandy, Strawberry & Lemon Fizz

Strawberry Fields Forever combines Brandy, Strawberry Liqueur, Lemon Juice, muddled Strawberries, and Carbonated Water in a tall fruit fizz. Brandy supplies depth, fresh fruit keeps the berry flavor natural, and the measured soda top gives the drink a repeatable refreshing finish.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Brandy - warm fruit and oak base.
• Strawberry Liqueur - concentrated berry sweetness.

• Strawberries - fresh berry aroma and body.
• Carbonated Water - fizz and length.

Equipment

• Muddler

Fresh Fruit Keeps It Honest

The muddled strawberries keep the berry profile fresher than liqueur alone, while three and a half ounces of soda prevent the drink from feeling heavy.

Substitutions & Variations

• Use raspberry liqueur instead of strawberry.
• Replace brandy with gin for a more botanical version.
• Use lime instead of lemon for a sharper finish.

Helpful Tips

• Muddle the berries gently.
• Chill the soda before building.
• Add soda last.
• Stir only briefly to preserve carbonation.
