Ingredients

Strawberry Syrup

  • 2 cups frozen California strawberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water

Per drink:

  • oz vodka
  • 1 oz strawberry syrup
  • ¼ oz strained lemon juice
  • handful of ice

Instructions

To make the strawberry syrup:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the strawberries, sugar, and water to a simmer on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15-20 minutes until the syrup is thick and strawberries are very soft.
  • In a large, fine mesh sieve set over a bowl, strain the syrup, but do not press on the solids. Chill syrup until at least room temperature. Use for cocktails or refrigerate for up to five days.

To make a single drink:

  • Shake vodka, syrup, lemon juice, and a handful of ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into small coupe glasses (or cocktail glasses of your choice).
