Strawberry Lavender Summer Spritzer

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces vodka
  • 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 6 fresh strawberries, stems removed
  • 3 sugar cubes (or 1 1/2 oz simple syrup)
  • 4 drops doTERRA lemon essential oil*
  • 1 drop doTERRA lavendar essential oil*
  • 3 ounces San Pelligrino blood orange sparkling soda
  • Thinly sliced strawberries, lemons and a sprig of lavender, for garnish

Instructions

  • Place strawberries, essential oils, and sugar cubes in mixing pint and muddle until berries are completely crushed and sugar is dissolved. Add vodka and several ice cubes. Cover with the mixing tin and shake aggressively for 15-30 seconds.
  • In two highball glasses alternate adding ice and sliced berries to glass to fill to top. Strain and pour the shaken cocktail into the two glasses. Fill the remaining space in the glass with San Pelligrino and mix gently by pushing a cocktail spoon down through the ice a couple times.
  • Garnish with a lavender sprig and a lemon slice that has been cut through just past half, this will let is curl a little more in the glass. Enjoy!

Notes

*You do not have to use doTERRA essential oils but if you do use essential oils make sure they are food-grade and safe for internal consumption.
