Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 fresh strawberries
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 ounce honey or simple syrup
- 2 ounces strawberry puree
- Sparkling wine or soda water
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves (optional garnish)
- Sliced strawberries (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Wash and hull 5-6 fresh strawberries. Blend them in a food processor or blender until smooth. If you prefer a pulp-free drink, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces (60 ml) of vodka, 1 ounce (30 ml) of lime juice, 1 ounce (30 ml) of honey or simple syrup, and 2 ounces (60 ml) of strawberry puree. Add a handful of ice cubes.
- Secure the lid on your cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds to chill the drink and blend the flavors.
- Strain the mixture into your serving glass, filling it about halfway. Top off with chilled sparkling wine or soda water for a fizzy finish.
- Add a slice of fresh strawberry to the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint for garnish. Optionally, add a sugar rim to the glass before pouring the cocktail.
