1cupfreshly squeezed lemon juicefrom about 7 medium lemons
1 ½ - 2cupsVodka
Strawberriesfor garnish
1medium lemonthinly sliced, for garnish
Ice
Instructions
Place the strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the strawberries are just starting to fall apart, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Pour the strawberry mixture through a strainer and gently push on the solids to release all of the liquid; discard the solids. Let the syrup cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes more.
Place the strawberry syrup in a pitcher. Add the cold water and lemon juice and stir to combine. Add vodka and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices and additional strawberries
Notes
For a quick and easy slush alternative, add a handful of ice to a blender with a cup of the Pink Lemonade Vodka and blend until desired slushy texture. This variation of the pink vodka lemonade cocktail might be the ultimate pool side sipper.
