The Strawberries Taste Like Strawberries

Strawberries are one of my all-time favourite fruits. They are versatile & can be found in your grocery store all year round. However, the best tasting strawberries are locally grown & hand-picked!
Today I was inspired by the deep, bright red berries that just scream juicy flavour & the hot, sunny weather we have coming up this weekend.

Strawberry Spritz
16 strawberries (give or take a few, depending on size)
2 limes
1/4 cup of white sugar
6 ounces of vodka or gin
Tonic Water or Club Soda
4 tall glasses

Roughly muddle 12 strawberries with the juice of 1 lime & 1 tsp of white sugar. I simply used a bowl & spoon to do this but splatter warning: the juicier the berries, the greater your chance of stains so wear an apron!

Zest half a lime & add to sugar on a small plate. Rim your glasses with remaining sugar/lime mixture.

Add crushed ice to your glasses, & divide the muddled strawberries among the glasses evenly. Splash in your vodka & top with the tonic & a squeeze of lime juice.

Use remaining berries & lime as garnishes.

Alter measurements to your own tastes. I also think adding mint & rum would make this a delicious twist on a mojito too.

An easy, breezy strawberry bevvy!... Or strawbevvy!
Great paired with sunshine, friends, & a light snack. Also a perfect drink to sip on over Canada Day weekend!

Enjoy responsibly & have a wonderful weekend!
