Instructions
- In the pitcher of a high powered blender add the ice, pink lemonade concentrate, pink lemonade vodka and simple syrup.
- Blend on high speed for 45 seconds - 1 minute or until your strawberry lemonade cocktail is smooth and no large lumps of ice remain. This will depend on the power of your blender.
- Pour into your cocktail/daiquiri glass and garnish with a fresh whole strawberry and slice of fresh lemon.
Notes
Storage:
These Strawberry Lemonade Cocktails should be enjoyed immediately upon blending them. As they sit, the ice will melt and they will not hold their consistency.
Tips:
- You can make a single serve of this recipe by just cutting the recipe in half. If you want to make a larger batch you need to do so according to the capacity of your blender. You may want to turn the blender back on for a couple seconds to recombine the ingredients if you make a larger batch and do not serve it all at one time.
- You can substitute a plain vodka for the pink lemonade vodka in this recipe but I really do recommend the pink lemonade version as it really works well to make an amazing summertime cocktail. You can find the pink lemonade vodka in brands such as Smirnoff, Pink Whitney by New Amsterdam and Svedka to name a couple brands.
- I like to keep a premade simple syrup in my liquor cabinet to use for a number of cocktails. You can easily find it at any liquor store. You can make your own by combining equal parts water and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. You will heat it just until the sugar melts (do not boil it) then allow it to cool completely before use. It can be stored in a lidded jar for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
- You can swap out a traditional lemonade concentrate for the pink version. However, your drink will not be as pink as our recipe but it will still taste delicious.
- You can use a strawberry lemonade that is bottled in place of the concentrate but just note that it will not be as strong of a lemonade drink (as it is already diluted). You may want to add a little more ice to get it to the consistency you desire.
