Tips
Try strawberry vodka.
Use ripe strawberries for maximum strawberry flavor.
For a lighter version and a little bit of elegance, top this strawberry vodka lemonade with club soda.
Give it a twist and make it a frozen strawberry vodka cocktail. Just add all of the ingredients to a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes and serve. (See the recipe notes below)
- Make it a mocktail. For a refreshing non-alcoholic drink, swap the vodka for strawberry syrup OR pureed strawberries.
Note: Torani Strawberry Syrup is gluten-free, but please read the label carefully for other allergens.
For an added extra, sugar coat the rim of your glass. Just follow these instructions.
TO RIM YOUR GLASS: swipe a lemon wedge around the edge of the glass then set it aside. Add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to a small dish. Dip the rim of your glass into the sugar coating the entire rim.
