As we head into the season of long, hot summer days, it’s never a bad idea to have a go-to summer, fruity cocktail that you can whip up in under five minutes.

Strawberry cream margarita

Mozart’s strawberry chocolate liqueur adds just the right strawberry flavor and creaminess — the key to making a strawberry cream margarita. Who said margaritas have to only pair with Mexican food? Made with cocoa from West Africa, Fair Trade vanilla from Madagascar, and cream from the Netherlands, this strawberry margarita mixes indulgent strawberry chocolate liqueur with tequila for a sweet twist on a traditional margarita.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Mozart Strawberry Chocolate Liqueur
  • 2 oz of any tequila
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • Optional: Strawberry and lime twist, for garnish

Method

  1. Start by combining all of your cocktail ingredients in a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake vigorously and strain into a glass with crushed ice.
  3. If desired, garnish with a strawberry and lime twist for an aesthetically pleasing (and social-media worthy) strawberry cream margarita.

Fizzy drinks remind me of summer, and this one looks like a light classic that would pair wonderfully with a picnic or a brunch. With a touch of creaminess from the heavy cream and fizziness from club soda, this strawberry cocktail is an excellent option as a signature drink for summer events and gatherings (or to enjoy on your summer day off).

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Mozart Strawberry Chocolate Liqueur
  • 1 oz gin
  • 1 oz heavy cream
  • .5 oz fresh lemon juice
  • .5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • Club soda to top
  • Optional: Strawberry and lemon wheel, for garnish

Method

  1. Start by combining all ingredients and dry-shaking for 30 seconds to build your foam (a key component to this strawberry beverage)
  2. Add ice and shake vigorously for an additional 30 seconds, or until well chilled.
  3. Strain into a tall glass.
  4. Top slowly with club soda, letting the foam rise.
  5. If desired, garnish with a strawberry and lemon wheel.

Strawberry cold foam iced coffee

As a coffee lover, this spiked version of a strawberry cold foam iced coffee has me most excited of all these recipes. Cold foam is always delicious on top of any coffee order, but I can’t say I’ve ever tried it in a strawberry variety. This recipe seems like one that could be dangerous (in the best way possible).

Ingredients

For strawberry cold foam:

  • 2 tbsp Mozart Strawberry Chocolate Liqueur
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream and Mozart Strawberry Chocolate Liqueur.
  2. Whip using a milk frother or whisk until a light foam forms.
  3. Fill a glass with ice and add cold brew coffee.
  4. Add Strawberry Chocolate Liqueur and stir.
  5. Spoon the strawberry cold foam over the coffee.

Why your steaks aren’t crusting right — and the fix is simple
This simple fridge trick gives your steakhouse-style crust at home
Steaks on grill

Here’s the thing about that steakhouse crust everyone obsesses over: it’s not the rub, it’s not the “secret marinade,” and it’s definitely not about butter-basting like you’re auditioning for Food Network. The truth is way simpler, and way less glamorous: cold, dry air. Before your ribeye ever meets flame, the fridge does the heavy lifting.

If you’ve ever pulled a steak off the grill only to find it looks more steamed than seared, you’ve already learned the hard way what surface moisture does. Too much water on the outside, and instead of browning, your steak just sweats. By the time all that liquid finally evaporates, your shot at that crisp, caramelized crust has already packed up and left.
