Strawberry Vodka Lemonade

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 lb. fresh strawberries
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 large lemons)
• 1.5 cups water
• 8 oz. vodka (1 cup vodka)

Steps

1. 1

   First, make simple syrup by placing honey and water into a small saucepan.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring consistently.

3. 3

   When syrup has reduced, remove from heat, pour into a jar, and place in the fridge to cool for later.

4. 4

   Next, create strawberry puree. Place strawberries and water into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth. Pour over a sieve and use a spoon to press the puree through the holes separating the seeds from the puree. Set aside.

5. 5

   Next, juice lemons with a juicer until you've reached about 1 cup. Depending on how juicy your lemons are, you'll use about 4-6 lemons.

6. 6

   Pour lemon juice, additional water, strawberry puree, and vodka into a large pitcher and mix well. Add in honey simple syrup and mix again until combined.

7. 7

   Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until chilled. Serve over ice.
