Strawberry Lime Vodka Tonic

Strawberry Lime Vodka Tonic is made with vodka, tonic water, freshly squeezed lime juice, fresh strawberries and just a pinch of sugar with a sugar rim and a lime slice garnish.

This Strawberry Lime Vodka Tonic is a favorite drink of mine. It is refreshing and goes down so easy and the light shade of pink is just beautiful. Yes, I full-heartedly believe the pink color makes it taste better and don’t even care if it makes no sense.

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.
