Equipment

  • Cocktail glass
  • Handheld juicer
  • Jigger
  • Muddler
  • Cocktail stirrer
  • Cocktail shaker
  • cocktail strainer
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 1.75 oz vodka
  • 0.75 oz Malibu
  • 6 oz Strawberry Vanilla OLIPOP
  • 0.5 oz lemon juice
  • 2 fresh strawberries
  • 5 mint leaves

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail glass with ice. Set aside.
  • Next, add finely diced strawberries, mint, lemon juice, and vodka and Malibu to a cocktail shaker.
  • Muddle for 30-60 seconds or until the strawberries have completely broken down and the mint is fragrant. Then, strain the mixture in the cocktail glass over ice.
  • Top off the cocktail with Strawberry Vanilla Olipop. Then, garnish with more strawberries and mint. I also salted the rim. Dress it up however you'd like!
  • Enjoy!

Notes

I don’t recommend storing this cocktail because of the carbonation. If left to sit, it will turn flat. Yuck!
If you can't find OLIPOP, you could use a strawberry lemonade. Snapple has a VERY delicious Strawberry Kiwi product that would SHINE in this cocktail! You could also use a sparkling strawberry flavored or coconut water with strawberry bitters.
