How to Make Tgi Fridays Strawberry Henny Recipe
- Prepare the glasses: Chill two serving glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes. This keeps the drink colder for longer and gives the best finish.
- Prepare the strawberries: If using fresh berries, blend them until smooth to make a quick puree. Strain if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Mix the drink: Add the Hennessy, strawberry puree, lemonade, orange juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, and ice to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake well: Shake firmly for 20 to 30 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
- Assemble: Fill the chilled glasses with fresh ice and strain the drink evenly between them.
- Finish and serve: Garnish with sliced strawberries, lime, and mint. Serve immediately while cold.
