Strawberry Lime Vodka Tonic
Strawberry Lime Vodka Tonic is the kind of cocktail you will want to make all summer long and bring poolside to sip on while enjoying the hot weather. It will cool you off and doesn’t have a lot of calories like many other cocktails. So hey, you could even enjoy a few of these babies.
Tips & Tricks
The one thing you should do with this cocktail is use a good muddler. A muddler will help infuse the strawberry and lime flavors into the vodka so it disperses among the cocktail so you get a little sweetness from the strawberry and a little sour from the lime for the perfect balance.

★★★★★
I’ve always been a gin and tonic kind of person, but that’s because of the something extra that gin brings as opposed to just vodka. The strawberries in this really solves that for me. Delicious.

Gin does have that extra flavor but vodka is just so smooth and yes, those strawberries and lime take care of that.

Vodka is my second fave spirit (after gin, I am a die hard gin lover) and this is definitely a drink I will make when summer rolls around in South Africa in the next couple of months! Delish!
