Strawberry Vodka Cocktail

This delicious Strawberry Vodka Cocktail is a perfect treat to end a long busy day or refresh yourself on a hot summers' day. I think Valentine's Day is another time I always think of this drink. Try infusing your regular vodka with delicious strawberries and watch the magic surround you. The taste and aroma are mesmerizing

There two times in the year that I love to enjoy this drink. One is Valentine's Day! Well, I guess Strawberries and Valentine's day are a match made in heaven. Second,  when summer starts and we have strawberries at home. It's almost like that bottle of vodka is begging me to feed it some strawberries. 

This is a family favorite for our summer BBQ. And I have these more than once on request.  A nice BBQ in one hand and a strawberry vodka cocktail in the other? Can't think of a better combination, can you? 

For years I had vodka with fruit juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, lemon juice, tonic water, soda. They were all great until I was introduced to fruit-infused vodka. 

Have you tried fruit-infused vodka yet?

Oh, you must! Works great with berries, cherries and even tropical fruits such as melons.  Just chop the fruits up or leave the small ones whole and pour over some Vodka. Set it in the corner of the fridge until it's time to party. 

Personally, I like to blend my fruit into the blender!  Just blend a few strawberries - add it to a nice jar and top it with vodka. Seal well to prevent the alcohol from evaporating and let it sit in the fridge until you are ready for that drink. You can use it immediately too, but just those few hours together can take those flavors to absolute bliss. 

 If you want, you can add some ice but I think some chilled tonic water works best for me. You can use soda, sprite, 7 up or lemonade too.

Is strawberry vodka cocktail the same as strawberry daiquiris? Can I use vodka for strawberry daiquiris?

A strawberry vodka is very refreshing and a perfect twist to the classic recipe made with light rum, lemon and simple syrup over crushed ice. Adding strawberry vodka with lemon juice over ice would make great strawberry daiquiris. 

Step by step instructions

Make strawberry vodka

• Blend the strawberries with the sugar.
• Pour into a jar that can be sealed well.
• Top with vodka. Add mint leaves - stir to combine.
• Leave it to sit for a couple of hours (at least 3) up to 8 days in the fridge.

Cocktail

• Add strawberry vodka into a wine or cocktail glass
  (about 1 ½ oz per glass is standard but you can use less or more).
• Top with 4 oz of soda or tonic water.
  Tip - Pour Soda Water or Tonic water over the back of a spoon so it stays undisturbed - just looks pretty.
• Add a fresh strawberry and mint leaves to a cocktail stick for garnish.
