It's Memorial Day weekend, baby! I have a fresh cocktail recipe for you just in time for strawberry season that's perfect to enjoy over the long weekend.
Strawberry Lemon Smash
Ingredients:
- 2-3 strawberries
- 1oz lemon juice (about half a lemon)
- Simple syrup to taste, if desired
- 2-3oz gin (or vodka, if you prefer)
- Sparkling water to top (I like to use lemon!)
Directions:
- Roughly chop the strawberries and add them to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until they are broken down.
- Add lemon juice, gin or vodka, and simple syrup (if using) to the cocktail shaker along with some ice and shake until chilled.
- Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into a glass over ice. Top with 2-3oz of sparkling water and give everything a gentle stir.
- Garnish with sprig of mint or an extra strawberry. Cheers!
I hope you have an amazing long weekend! Kenny and I have dinner plans with one of my very best friends tonight, then tomorrow we're doing a day date in Richmond and going to Maymont, which I've never been to! On Sunday we're hoping to do a hike, but it might be rainy so we'll have to play that by ear.
