The method
How to make it
Swirl a ribbon of chocolate syrup around the inside of each shot glass and park them in the freezer.
Muddle two very ripe strawberries with the simple syrup until smooth.
Add the vodka, heavy cream and ice, then shake hard for 10 seconds.
Double strain into the chocolate-laced glasses.
Top each with a thin strawberry slice on the rim.
The serve
How to present it
Pink, cold and striped with chocolate, these look like tiny milkshakes with intentions. Serve them on a tray as dessert arrives or instead of it. Two per guest disappears before you sit back down.
Make it yours
Swaps & variations
White rum instead of vodka reads more daiquiri. A drop of vanilla rounds the cream out further. For a grown-up sundae, float the tiniest layer of coffee liqueur on top and refuse to explain yourself.
