About this recipe
Strawberry gin fizz Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the glamour of a cocktail bar straight into your kitchen.

As an all-in-one kitchen machine, the TM7 handles everything in a single mixing bowl: the strawberries and icing sugar are pulverised into a silky purée, ice cubes are crushed on demand, and the whole preparation takes only minutes. What makes this cocktail special is the intense, fresh strawberry flavour you simply cannot get from a bottle, combined with the aroma of torn mint leaves and the gentle fizz of chilled soda water. Whether you are planning a sunny terrace afternoon, a festive birthday toast or a relaxed weekend drink, this quick strawberry cocktail recipe delivers restaurant-quality results and will have your guests asking for seconds.
Preparation tips
- Use ripe, fragrant strawberries for the deepest flavour, and hull them thoroughly before blending so no white cores end up in the purée. Reserve a few pretty berries and mint sprigs for garnishing the glasses.
- Chill the gin, soda water and glasses well in advance. A cold base keeps the ice from melting too quickly, so your strawberry gin fizz stays refreshingly fizzy instead of watery at the bottom of the glass.
- Taste the strawberry purée before serving and adjust the balance: extra lime juice sharpens the sweetness, while a little more icing sugar softens tart berries. For a lighter version, simply top up with additional soda water.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free strawberry fizz: replace the gin with alcohol-free gin or extra sparkling elderflower lemonade. Children and designated drivers can then enjoy the same strawberry, lime and mint flavours at parties.
- Festive winter variation: swap the strawberries for defrosted frozen forest fruits and add a dash of blackcurrant liqueur. Served warm-red in coupe glasses with a sugared rim, this makes an elegant Christmas aperitif.
