Valentine’s day vodka cocktail
This fruity cocktail is the perfect drink for Valentine’s Day! How to make it:
Ingredients:
- 59 ml vanilla-strawberry infused vodka*.
- 14 grams of St. Germain maple liqueur
- 0-30ml simple syrup (to taste)
- 15 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 strawberries
- Sparkling water or sparkling rose wine
- Strawberry hearts to decorate
*If you want to make your own strawberry vanilla vodka, wash and chop 200 g of strawberries. Add them to a clean glass jar with the vanilla pod split lengthwise and 500ml of vodka, then seal with an airtight lid. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 3 days. I prepared it at home and left it for a week. The strawberry flavor was stronger. So when it’s ready, pass it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth and discard the strawberries and vanilla bean.
Preparation of strawberry cocktail:
- If you don’t have time to make strawberry vodka, you can buy store-bought or mix high-quality vanilla vodka with 3 crushed strawberries.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add vodka, St. Germain, simple syrup, lemon juice and 2 sliced strawberries. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
- Then pour the cocktail into a chilled glass. Top with sparkling water or sparkling wine and you’re done. It remains only to decorate the festive drink.
