Description
Cool off with this Frozen Strawberry Lemon Drop, zesty lemon, sweet berries, and vodka blended to icy perfection. A must-try summer sip!
Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
???? 1 cup frozen strawberries – ripe, sweet, and naturally thickening
-
???? 2 oz vodka – a clean, neutral base spirit
-
???? 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice – for that zingy lemon drop tang
-
???? 1 oz simple syrup – balances the tartness
-
???? ½ oz triple sec or Cointreau – adds a hint of orange
-
???? 1 cup ice cubes – to achieve that perfect slushy consistency
-
???? 1 fresh strawberry, for garnish
-
???? Lemon wheel or twist, for garnish
-
???? (Optional) Sugar for glass rim
Instructions
Step 1: Prep your glass
Chill your martini or coupe glass in the freezer for a few minutes. For a decorative touch, run a lemon wedge around the rim and dip it into sugar for a sweet sparkle.
Step 2: Add ingredients to blender
In a high-speed blender, combine:
-
1 cup frozen strawberries
-
2 oz vodka
-
1 oz lemon juice
-
1 oz simple syrup
-
½ oz triple sec
-
1 cup ice
Step 3: Blend until smooth
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice to adjust.
Step 4: Taste and tweak
Taste the blend—if you like it sweeter, add a bit more simple syrup. If you want it tarter, splash in extra lemon juice.
Step 5: Serve it up!
Pour into your chilled, sugar-rimmed glass. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and a lemon wheel or twist. Serve immediately and enjoy the frosty bliss!
Notes
These frozen cocktails are super flexible, but to ensure the best texture and flavor:
-
Use frozen fruit instead of fresh to avoid a watery result
-
Blend in short bursts to avoid over-melting the ice
-
Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness to suit your palate
