Skinny Strawberry Lemondrop

Continuing on the fresh fruit journey of summer cocktails we have a Skinny Strawberry Lemondrop.  Made only with vodka, strawberries, and a whole lemon.  Tastes like strawberry lemonade, but then when you get to the bottom of the drink there is a strawberry that has been muddled so it soaks up all the vodka and whoo that's a kick at the end :)  I hope you enjoy!!





Ingredients:

2.5 oz Vodka (I used Grey Goose because it was around, but I think it would be better with Absolut Citron)
1 whole lemon
3 strawberries (diced)





Directions:
  1. Slice up the three strawberries, put one inside martini glass and the other two in martini shaker.
     
  2. Slice the lemon into six slices.
  3. Put the other two strawberrries into martini shaker and muddle into bottom, also muddle the strawberry in martini glass (if you do not have a muddler, just use a fork that was what I did.)

  4. Fill martini shaker half way full with ice, add vodka and squeeze in lemon juice.  Go ahead and toss in a few of the lemon rines as well it will help get more lemon flavor into your drink when your shaking. 
  5. Strain drink into martini glass and garnish with a sliced strawberry if you'd like to be fancy pants :)
