Many people appreciate the convenience of the flavorful Cutwater canned cocktails. The brand’s newest flavor offering, Strawberry White Russian, brings a twist to the classic beverage and embraces the fruit flavor trend in the sweetest way.
A recent trend across the food and beverage space is the infusion of strawberry flavors. From coffee to candy, the juicy, sweet berry lends its flavor to a variety of offerings. Whether it is the perfect timing to the upcoming Valentine’s Day or just the love of the classic fruit, people appreciate seeing the flavor interpreted in different ways.
The new Cutwater Strawberry White Russian is a curious idea for the popular spirits brand. While the Peppermint White Russian was quite popular during the holidays, this special offering seems to turn the classic cocktail into a dessert swap.
According to the spirits brand, the flavor is meant to blend the idea of strawberries and cream and chocolate-covered strawberries. Although there is no chocolate in the mix, the coffee cream has an inherent lusciousness that mimics the richness of chocolate. The burst of strawberry helps to layer the sweetness in an enticing way.
Some people might think of this cocktail as an adult version of strawberry milk. It might not necessarily be the beverage to serve with breakfast, but the analogy has merit. Since the nostalgia trend is everywhere. It is a logical explanation.
Personally, this particular Cutwater cocktail deserves to be elevated with a fun presentation. It could be as simple as making infused ice cubes with strawberry pieces cut into heart shapes or even using a coffee infused frozen cube to amplify that flavor.
Additionally, this libation is best served with a food pairing. Instead of more strawberry flavors, consider a different take. A simple shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate or whipped cheesecake would be nice. It is best to let the cocktail be the sweeter note and the food pairing to offer the balance.
Overall, the Cutwater Strawberry White Russian is a great addition to the brand’s lineup. From a romantic celebration to just toasting the sweet life, this cocktail needs to be put into rotation.
