A Wimbledon-inspired cocktail that takes the strawberry as a base, and adds a touch of lime and elderflower before giving you the kick of vodka and ginger. A great combination.

Cocktail Colin says:
The Wimbledon cocktail superbly captures the essence of its namesake event with a playful yet sophisticated blend. The sweet freshness of strawberry puree and the subtle floral notes of elderflower cordial dance delightfully with the zesty lime juice, while the vodka provides a smooth undercurrent, culminating in a refreshing hit of ginger ale that perfectly rounds off this summer sipper.

FAQ's
Why is the cocktail named Wimbledon?
The cocktail 'Wimbledon' likely draws inspiration from the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments held in Wimbledon, London. The use of strawberries in the cocktail is a nod to the traditional Wimbledon snack of strawberries and cream enjoyed by spectators during the tournament. The fresh, summer vibe of the cocktail compliments the season in which the event is held.
What is the best time to serve the Wimbledon cocktail?
The Wimbledon cocktail, with its refreshing blend of vodka, lime juice, ginger ale, strawberry puree, and elderflower cordial, is perfect for summer gatherings, especially outdoor parties or events. Its refreshing and fruity profile makes it an excellent choice for warm, sunny days, aligning well with the tennis season.
Can I substitute ginger beer for ginger ale in the Wimbledon cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute ginger beer for ginger ale in the Wimbledon cocktail to add a stronger, spicier ginger flavor. However, it's worth noting that ginger beer tends to be more robust and less sweet than ginger ale, which could slightly alter the cocktail's taste balance. Adjust the quantity accordingly based on your preference for sweetness and ginger intensity.
Is the Wimbledon cocktail suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, the Wimbledon cocktail is suitable for vegetarians. Its ingredients, including vodka, lime juice, ginger ale, strawberry puree, and elderflower cordial, are all plant-based and do not include any animal products. However, vegetarians should ensure that the specific brands of alcohol and mixers used are also vegetarian-friendly, as some may use animal by-products during processing.
How can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Wimbledon cocktail?
To make a non-alcoholic version of the Wimbledon cocktail, you can substitute the vodka with a non-alcoholic spirit or more ginger ale to retain the fizz without the alcohol content. You can also add a little extra lime juice or elderflower cordial to balance the sweetness and maintain the cocktail's refreshing taste. This version keeps the cocktail's essence, making it enjoyable for those abstaining from alcohol.

Tasty, you can use simple syrup as a substitute for Elderflower Cordial.
Yeah it needs something for that sweetness to balance it. Simple / sugar syrup would work well!
