Cutting Board
Knife
- 1.75 oz vodka
- 0.75 oz Malibu
- 6 oz Strawberry Vanilla OLIPOP
- 0.5 oz lemon juice
- 2 fresh strawberries
- 5 mint leaves
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!
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.
