Expert Tips

Here are a few tricks I've learned that'll ensure your pink lemonade vodka drinks are perfect every time:

Make sure you get your hands on some juicy, ripe strawberries. If you can't find any that are fresh, look to the freezer aisle!
Give those strawberries a good muddle. Muddling is a fancy word for gently squishing the strawberries to release their flavors. Take a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, chuck in the strawberries, and get your muddler or wooden spoon ready. Give 'em a good press and twist until they're nicely crushed.
To take this strawberry lemonade vodka drink over the top, squeeze up a batch of fresh lemonade to bring all that tangy goodness to the party. If you like it sweeter, go ahead and add some extra strawberry simple syrup.
Find your ideal vodka lemonade ratio. Consider using flavored ice cubes made from lemonade to prevent too much flavor dilution.
After adding the lemonade, vodka, and ice to your muddled strawberries, grab a long cocktail spoon and give it a gentle stir. We don't want to go overboard and dilute the flavors too much, so just a few spins around the glass ought to do it.
Get fancy with your garnish game! Pop in some lemon wheels and fresh strawberries to make your cocktail look as good as it tastes.
