Notes
- Use fresh strawberries blended smooth for the best flavor in your puree.
- Adjust sweetness with simple syrup if needed to suit your taste.
- Chill glasses beforehand to achieve a thicker, creamier texture in the drink.
- Serve immediately, as cream-based drinks do not store well and may separate or lose texture.
