Strawberry-Lemon-Vodka-Ade

foodwithyourwahn:

It’s spring! That means we can all go get drunk in the warm outdoors with these delicious vodka drinks!

Makes 1 large pitcher, so enough for 2-3 people

2 cups vodka

1 basket strawberries

1 cup sugar

2 cups lemonade (I use the Simply stuff in the clear jug)

1 cup soda water

Ice cubes

Start a few hours before you plan to serve by soaking the strawberries in the vodka and sugar. Over time, the strawberries will soften and let out some of their juices. Right before serving: Mush the strawberries with a potato masher or large spoon. Put some ice cubes in the bottom of the pitcher. Add the mushed strawberry, vodka, and sugar mixture to the pitcher. Mix in the lemonade and soda water. Garnish with whatever the fuck you like (mint is always nice). Get drunk.

Spring has barely sprung, and I am already dreaming of summer produce. The thing is, spring is like the hors d’oeuvre to seasonal harvest, just a teaser that prepares you for what follows. Fresh, crisps, sweet greens can only anticipate more complex flavors, right?

I had a version of this…
