Strawberry Shortcake Cocktail

Ok- best cocktail EVER!! Even the manliest of men will like this drink. It is super refreshing and a perfect pairing for a summer BBQ (or in our case, our cheese themed potluck party). You can also make this drink non-alcoholic, but it will taste more like a strawberry limeade. Below are the ingredients for 1 cocktail.

1-2 shots cake vodka 

3 tablespoons strawberry puree

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons simple syrup

club soda

ice

Directions: 

• To prepare to make the drinks, juice your limes, make your simple syrup (bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a boil, stirring frequently to get sugar dissolved), and use a food processor to make strawberry puree. 
• Using a cocktail shaker, add the first 4 ingredients and the ice and shake
• Pour into a glass and top with club soda!
• If you are making this non-alcoholic, I would add 7-up or sierra mist instead of the club soda. You can also make it a little more tart by adding more lime juice (make sure its fresh squeezed!)
