Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda, chilled
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices and whole strawberries for garnish
  • Instructions

  • Muddle the strawberries: Toss the sliced strawberries into a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker. Gently muddle with a muddler or back of a spoon until the strawberries are broken down, releasing their bright juices but not completely pureed.
  • Add lemon juice and simple syrup: Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup. Give it a little stir to combine.
  • Pour in the vodka: Add your vodka of choice into the mix. Shake for about 10 seconds if using a cocktail shaker to chill and marry the flavors.
  • Strain and serve: Fill your serving glass with ice cubes, then strain the strawberry lemon mixture over the top.
  • Top with sparkling water: Slowly add the chilled sparkling water, giving the drink a gentle stir to preserve the bubbles.
  • Garnish and enjoy: Drop in a lemon wheel and a whole strawberry for garnish and aroma.
