Summer Refreshment at Its Finest
Berry Bliss in a Glass
Last night, I stumbled upon a refreshing gem at my favorite hangout spot, The Argus. This delightful drink is perfect for warm weather gatherings and can be easily customized with your favorite berries.
The Recipe
Berry Puree Base
To get started, puree fresh strawberries using a blender or handheld immersion blender. You can save any leftover puree for future creations by freezing it.
Assemble the Drink
Fill a highball glass with ice and pour in:
- 2 ounces of vodka (lemon-infused or citron work beautifully)
- 2 ounces of freshly squeezed lemonade
- 1 ounce of strawberry puree (no need to strain)
- 1/2 ounce of club soda or seltzer water
Stir the mixture well to combine the puree with the other ingredients.
Finishing Touches
Garnish your creation with a half or whole strawberry, or a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing twist.
Why This Drink Shines
This recipe yields one drink, takes only 10 minutes to prepare (with 5 minutes of active time), and is incredibly easy to make. Plus, you can batch it for larger gatherings, making it a summer party staple. So go ahead, give it a try, and toast to the perfect blend of sweet and tangy!
