How to mix the vodka cocktails
Lemonade made with coconut and strawberry
This delightful drink with coconut and strawberry lemonade is a crowd favorite. You will like this taste if you enjoy flavored lemonade.
- Ciroc Coconut (or your favorite coconut-flavored vodka) 1.5 oz.
- – 1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- – 0.75 oz. honey water combination (.375 oz. honey +.375 oz. water whisked together)

Instructions:
To begin, “muddle” your strawberries in a bowl. To make a slushy sweet mix in the bottom of your glass, muddle your strawberries with a little sugar. It is NOT crushing and ripping while muddling;
it is pushing down softly and gently twisting. It’s normally simple to muddle fruit in your glass to avoid washing extra dishes, but if you’re using a ‘V’ shaped glass, you may need to muddle the fruit in a separate container.
Add the berries, Ciroc Coconut, lemon juice, and honey syrup to your shaker after they’ve been blended. Add some ice — the kind of ice doesn’t matter since the drink will be strained. Shake the ingredients together to combine them. Into your glass, strain your drink.
Pour your club soda on top of your drink and garnish with a strawberry slice.
