Serving Size

Equipment

A cocktail shaker is essential for mixing everything together smoothly.

I also use a jigger to accurately measure ingredients.
A strainer helps me pour the drink without any ice or fruit bits.
A muddler is handy for crushing strawberries to release their juices.

Finally, a highball glass holds the finished cocktail, looking classy and inviting.🍹

Ingredients

This recipe calls for fresh and tasty ingredients.

I start with 2 ounces of vodka which adds a nice kick.
I use 1 ounce of sparkling wine to bring a bubbly finish.

1 ounce of cranberry juice gives a sweet tartness.
For a fresh taste I add 3-4 fresh strawberries. This adds a natural sweetness and color.
A mint sprig adds a refreshing aroma.

Instructions

I begin by muddling strawberries and mint in the shaker to bring out the rich flavors.
Then, I add vodka, cranberry juice, and a handful of ice to the shaker.
Shaking it well for about 15 seconds blends everything perfectly.🥄

Next, I strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice. 🥃
Topping it with sparkling wine adds fizz. I gently stir to combine the flavors.
To finish, I garnish with a strawberry slice and a sprig of mint for a splash of color and freshness.

Notes

A few tips can enhance this cocktail. Using fresh, ripe strawberries makes a big difference. If you prefer a sweeter taste, adding a splash of simple syrup is a good idea.

To make the drink non-alcoholic, swap vodka with a lemon-lime soda and sparkling wine with a favorite non-alcoholic bubbly beverage. Always feel free to tweak these ingredients to suit personal tastes. 🍓

The aroma is inviting, with hints of berries and a splash of citrus. As I breathe it in, I can almost taste the sunshine captured in every sip.

Flavor Highlights:
- Sweet strawberries 🍓
- Tangy lemon 🍋

The texture is light and slightly bubbly if made with soda water. It’s a refreshing drink that feels smooth going down, with a little sparkle that tickles the tongue. ✨

As I enjoy it, I find the balance between the sweetness and the citrus zing to be perfectly satisfying. Each component shines without overpowering the others.

And the finish? It leaves a gentle sweetness lingering that’s as delightful as a summer day. ☀️ I can’t help but smile as I take another sip.
