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. 🍓
