Notes

The drink tastes best with ripe, fresh strawberries. Frozen strawberries can work in a pinch.

Store-bought simple syrup works well, but making it at home is easy. Mix equal parts sugar and water in a pan, heat until dissolved.

The cocktail should be served immediately while cold and fresh.

Keep leftover simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

A high-quality vodka makes a noticeable difference in the final taste.
