Fruity Fanatics

It's no secret we find great joy in discovering new cocktails. If given the chance, we would spend hours in the kitchen or at the bar blending booze, fruit, syrups, and whatever else we find to develop incredible drinks.  Our most recent discovery involves adding a few simple ingredients to the cocktail classic Screwdriver to create a delicious and refreshing summery beverage. We made only one glass, but this drink really should be served by the pitcher!

In a wine glass, muddle three to four very ripe strawberries with two teaspoons of sugar. Add one shot's worth of vodka (that's 1.5oz), the juice squeezed from half a lemon, and fill the rest of the glass with orange juice. Top with a splash of Chambord if you like, and a dash of Prosecco if you want even more excitement. 


The end result is a delightfully fruity and any-time-of-day appropriate cocktail. Similar to brunch staples such as the Screwdriver and the Mimosa, the muddled strawberries add a wonderful thickness akin to a smoothie. Enjoy this Do You Have A Vodka Preference original with either french toast or as a late night drink!

Ps....we're still looking to name our drink. Suggestions? Of course we'll credit you, and you will go down in booze history!
