Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Reposado Tequila Aged in oak barrels for a smooth, rich flavor that forms the backbone of this cocktail.
  • 1 oz St. Germain An elderflower liqueur that adds a touch of floral sweetness.
  • 1 oz Lime Juice Freshly squeezed for that essential zesty kick.
  • 1 oz Cream of Coconut For a silky, tropical richness that balances the acidity of the lime.
  • 2 oz Strawberry Purée Fresh strawberries blended into a smooth purée to add a fruity depth.
  • Lime Zest A sprinkle on top for an extra pop of lime flavor and a vibrant garnish.

Instructions

  • Chill Your Glass: Start by chilling a highball glass in the freezer to keep your cocktail cool and refreshing.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a shaker, combine the Reposado tequila, St. Germain, lime juice, cream of coconut, and strawberry purée. Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid completely.
  • Shake It Up: Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The goal is to chill the mixture thoroughly and mix all the flavors well.
  • Strain: Strain the mixture into your chilled highball glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Garnish: Grate lime zest over the top of the cocktail to release the oils and add a fragrant aroma.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Big Deck Energy is best served immediately. It pairs wonderfully with light summer fare—think grilled seafood, fresh salads, or fruit platters. It's also the perfect companion for a sunny day lounging on your deck or patio.

Why You'll Love It:

  • This cocktail isn't just about great flavors—it's an experience. The Reposado tequila provides a mature foundation with its woody notes, while the St. Germain whispers of the countryside. The cream of coconut and strawberry purée add a creamy and fruity contrast, making each sip a delightful surprise. Lastly, the lime zest not only looks beautiful but also enhances the overall zestiness of the drink.
  • Get ready to sip on something spectacular. Big Deck Energy is more than just a drink; it's a statement. Enjoy responsibly and let the good vibes roll!
