This week we teamed up with The Good Life in Boston for an event, check out The Secret Garden in our blog for the event recap. Mixologist Lauren demonstrated how to make The Secret Garden, a vodka cocktail with strawberries and a hint of balsamic vinegar. We were a bit skeptical about `the addition of balsamic vinegar, but it added the perfect amount of tang to the drink.
Strawberry puree is simply strawberries that you have put through the blender. You can always make a big batch and then freeze them in ice cube trays for later use!
Here is The Secret Garden recipe. Cheers!
