This vodka spritzer is the ultimate party drink: bubbly, berry-bright, and full of fruity flavor! It takes just minutes of hands-on time to make a big pitcher.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) vodka
  • 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) simple syrup
  • 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsweetened 100% cranberry juice*
  • Soda water, for serving
  • Ice, for serving
  • For the garnish: 1 handful fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Slice the lemon into rounds. Thinly slice the strawberries.
  2. Place the lemons and strawberries in a pitcher with the vodka, simple syrup, and cranberry juice. Marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
  3. To serve, pour 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) of the vodka mix over ice and top with a splash of soda water to taste. Garnish with the fruit from the pitcher and sprigs of fresh mint leaves.

Notes

*If all you can find is sweetened cranberry juice (often labeled as cranberry juice cocktail), use half the simple syrup specified in this recipe. Or you can use it as is for a sweeter drink!
