Fresh lemon juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled juice.

The simple syrup can be adjusted based on the sweetness of the strawberries.

Tasting Notes

The Strawberry Vodka Fizz offers a bright, sweet aroma of fresh strawberries mixed with subtle notes of vodka.

The first sip brings forward the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries, balanced by the crisp bite of club soda. The vodka adds a clean, smooth quality without overpowering the fruit.

A gentle citrus tang from fresh lemon juice cuts through the sweetness, creating a refreshing drink that’s not too sweet. The carbonation adds a lively fizz that makes each sip fun and exciting.

Key Flavor Notes:

• Fresh strawberry
• Clean vodka
• Bright citrus
• Light bubbles

The cocktail has a light pink color and leaves a gentle strawberry aftertaste. The texture is smooth with tiny bubbles that dance on the tongue.

This drink tastes best when served very cold. Ice helps maintain the right temperature and keeps the bubbles from going flat too quickly.

Substitute

You can swap vodka with gin or white rum to make tasty variations of this drink. Gin adds botanical notes, while rum brings a sweet, tropical touch.

For non-alcoholic options, replace vodka with club soda or sprite. The drink will still have a nice pink color and sweet-tart taste.

Can’t find fresh strawberries? Use 1 ounce of strawberry syrup or puree instead. Frozen strawberries work too – just thaw them first.

No lime juice? Lemon juice makes a good stand-in. The taste will be slightly different but still refreshing.

Alternative Mixers:

• Ginger ale for extra sparkle
• Tonic water for less sweetness
• Rose lemonade for a floral twist
• Coconut water for tropical notes

For less sugar, skip the simple syrup and use diet soda or sparkling water with sugar-free strawberry syrup.
