Ingredients

  • 3 oz. fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon) - freshly squeezed
  • 5 cups frozen strawberries - no sugar added
  • 1 cup vodka - use good quality
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup - or more, to taste (OR use honey)
  • 2-3 cups ice - if needed to reach desired consistency
  • sugar - to rim glass
  • extra lemon slices - to serve

Instructions

  • Ahead of time, make a simple syrup. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water, bring to a boil in small pan. Once sugar dissolves, remove from heat and let cool. Store in refrigerator. You might want to make more (especially if you make more than one batch) and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Using a citrus press, squeeze lemons into a jar. This can be done ahead of time and refrigerated.
  • Prep glasses, by running a lemon slice around the rims. Pour some sugar, and some lemon zest (optional) on to a plate, and press the rims of glasses on plate to get a nice sugared rim.

  • Using a large blender, combine fresh lemon juice, frozen strawberries, vodka, and simple syrup - and pulse until smooth. Add ice to desired consistency.

Notes

  • IF YOU LIKE A SWEETER DRINK, add additional simple syrup. If you want to avoid refined sugars, use honey in your simple syrup instead.
  • If desired, use fresh strawberries (instead of frozen) and additional ice for this recipe.
  • You can also pour slush mixture into a container and freeze. To serve, scoop out slush into glasses, and let them melt a bit before drinking, or enjoy with a spoon.
  • Use a good quality vodka for these cocktails.
  • This recipe makes four 12 oz. drinks. To make it go further, let strawberries thaw, and then add additional ice.
  • You can skip the vodka for virgin drinks.
