Strawberries & Cream Eton Mess Cocktail
Ingredients:

Place a few spoons of the coulis into a piping bag to drizzle along glass sides, keeping at least 2 ½ oz for the cocktails. Chill glass to set.

For Coulis: Place the raspberries (keeping some to serve), sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes or until reduced and thickened. Remove from heat. Use a blender or food processor to blend until smooth. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until chilled.
