editor recipe notes

The Strawberry Vanilla Split reminds me of the days when I was starting to learn about making cocktails. We went for some happy hours at the young age of 18, of course, the legal age of drinking alcohol.

So we had to decide mostly between a Caipirinha, a Cuba Libre, a Mojito, or a Vanilla Split.
The issue was that it was mainly too sweet on the palate.

So we fixed this issue with our version.

We are using fresh lemon juice and bottled passion fruit juice for the acidity.
We use a high-quality fruit puree instead of a fruit syrup for the strawberry flavor.
You can use a syrup, but then again, you need to balance out the sweetness.

The vanilla flavor comes from the vanilla liqueur and the lovely Likör 43.
