Description
A delightful cocktail combining fresh strawberries and whipped cream with vodka for a refreshing drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Toss gently and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, lemon juice, and the macerated strawberries (including the juices). Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled glass, filling it about halfway.
- Gently spoon the whipped cream over the top of the cocktail.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with sparkling water or lemonade for a refreshing mocktail.
- Experiment with different fruits such as raspberries or blueberries for a colorful twist on the classic strawberries and cream flavor.
