Ruby cubes

Preparation :

Cocktail

Pour all of the cocktail ingredients into a shaker. Add a few ice cubes, shake and keep chilled.

Grand Cosmopolitan Cocktail jello

Soften the gelatine for 1 to 2 minutes in cold water. Drain and warm with the lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat (or for 15 to 20 seconds in a 500 W microwave) until the gelatine has completely dissolved.
Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients.
Transfer into a dish large enough to have a depth of approximately 1 cm (½ inch). Let set for 3 hours in the refrigerator.

Vanilla spuma

Soften the gelatine in a third of the liqueur. Combine all the ingredients. Strain through a sieve. Fill a whipped cream dispenser with the mixture and insert 2 cartridges. Chill for 2 hours before using.

Assembly :

Cut the jello into 1 cm cubes and place in the glass. Top with the quartered strawberries. Top with a little of the vanilla spuma followed by a layer of jello cubes and strawberries.
Divide the cocktail between the glasses. Serve immediately.

Chef’s suggestion :

Serve well chilled.
