Ingredients

8 Fresh Strawberries
1.5 oz Lemon Juice
1.5 oz Vodka
1.5 oz Simple Syrup
1 oz Triple Sec

Instructions

Make the sugared rim by rubbing a lemon slice along the top of a cocktail glass. Pour about 1-2 tbsps of sugar onto a plate and dip the rim of the glass into the sugar.
Add strawberries to a cocktail shaker with lemon juice and muddle together for 15-20 seconds, until strawberries are crushed and juicy. Strain juices into a cup and discard the pulp. Pour juices back into the cocktail shaker.
Then add vodka, simple syrup, triple sec, and ice. Place the lid on the shaker and shake for 10 seconds, until cold.
Strain into martini glasses and enjoy!

Notes

Variations

Mocktail version! Omit the vodka and triple sec and use lemon-lime soda instead!

Make it slushy! Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh strawberries to make a slushy cocktail! Add everything to a blender with ice and blend until smooth.

Use a premade mix instead! If you want to make a big batch of this strawberry lemon drop recipe, you can use premade strawberry lemonade mix and add as much vodka and triple sec as you'd like. (Omit the simple syrup for this version)
