They say April showers bring May flowers — and that patience is a virtue — but we’re tired of these relentlessly cold, gray, and wet days. So we're chasing them away with this tropical elixir.
The strawberry preserves in this recipe are the key to creating a dreamy foam topper. And the ginger beer provides a tart, slightly spicy finish. For this cocktail, we love using Q Tropical Ginger Beer, which is made with real ginger, agave, mango, passion fruit, and pineapple.
Spring break may be over, but you can still take your taste buds on vacation with this sipper!
