Strawberry Mint Shooter

I have always been fascinated by the range of fruit juices available in India.On a hot summer day we tend to drink lots of coconut water, fruit juices made from various kinds of fruits.However juices can be served plain or by adding spicy flavorings such as mint ,ginger etc., Strawberries are one of my favorite fruit. These were not available in abundance in my childhood days, but in the recent days the scenario changed and they are found in almost every super market. This is kind of a cocktail, where in you feel the punch of mint and chunks of strawberry.

Ingredients:

• Strawberries : 4
• Lemon : 1
• Mint : 1 sprig
• Sugar syrup : 2 tblspn
