There’s nothing like a cocktail on a long summer night, right? Especially one that adds in the best of summer produce. This strawberry vodka drink (officially called a Farmer’s Daughter) is the kind of cocktail that turns an ordinary summer night into an extraordinary one. And the best part is, it’s super easy! Check out the full cocktail recipe below and make some for yourself!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 oz. Strawberry Basil Simple Syrup (recipe below)
- 1 oz. Vodka
- 1-2 tablespoons diced strawberries & fresh basil
- fill with club soda
- garnish with strawberry or strawberry slice if desired
Strawberry Basil Syrup:
- 2 cups water
- 4-6 strawberries, sliced
- 5-7 basil leaves
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
Process strawberries and basil in a food processor until completely pureed; strain to release as much juice as possible. Put juice in a saucepan; stir in sugar. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer about 5 minutes. Strain again and cool to room temperature.
Here’s what to do:
In a small sauce pot, add the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the strawberries and basil, simmer for 10 minutes. Cool and strain. Combine with vodka, soda and strawberries and enjoy!
