Sugared Boozy Strawberries

Fresh strawberries soaked in rosé and amaretto, then rolled in sugar for a crisp, candy-like finish. Simple to prep and perfect for parties. Serve them chilled in a bowl or frozen as cocktail "ice cubes."
Prep Time:5 minutes
Marinate Time:1 hour
Total Time:1 hour 5 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 shallow bowl or plate

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries about 2 small containers
  • 1 bottle rosé 750ml
  • 1 cup amaretto
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Prep. Cut the tops off the strawberries and wash them well. Dry them thoroughly before soaking.
  • Soak. Place strawberries in a large bowl and pour the rosé and amaretto over the top until fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Roll. Remove strawberries from the liquid and roll them in granulated sugar just before serving.
  • Chill. Serve immediately, or freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 2 hours and use as boozy "ice cubes" in rosé, champagne, or whiskey.

Notes

Don't toss the leftover soaking liquid! Pour it into a jar and refrigerate for up to a week to mix with cocktails.
These can be soaked up to 24 hours ahead, but wait to roll in sugar until right before serving.
Bourbon, champagne, or Grand Marnier all work well in place of or alongside the amaretto.
