Ingredients
- 3-4 large Fresh strawberries hulled and quartered
- 1 Lime cut into wedges
- 8-10 small Mint leaves
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1 ounce Simple syrup adjust based on your preference for sweetness
- Club soda
- Extra strawberry or a lime wheel Garnish
Instructions
- Muddle the Fruits and Mint:
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the strawberries, lime wedges, and mint leaves together to release their juices and essential oils. Don’t shred the mint into tiny pieces; just bruise them lightly to release the flavor.
- Add Vodka and Simple Syrup:
- Pour the vodka and simple syrup into the shaker.
- Shake:
- Add ice to fill the shaker halfway, then cover and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The idea is to chill the mixture thoroughly and mix all the flavors well.
- Strain and Serve:
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice. You can double strain it if you want to avoid small fruit pieces and mint in your drink.
- Top Off:
- Top off the drink with a splash of club soda for some fizz.
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- Garnish with a strawberry slice or a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.
