Strawberry Sundowner

This is Culinary Occasions signature cocktail!

What is the meaning of ‘sundowner’ you might ask? Well if any person originating from the southern tip of Africa asks if you would like to join them for a sundowner, it literally means come and join me for a drink while watching the sun set! You’re welcome …… you are officially South African!

This delectable cocktail is strawberry based, marinated with fresh lime juice and sun tanned with a splash of Grand Marnier then balanced with a few Trinidadian drops of Angostura bitters!

Cheers and happy sunset watching!
