There’s nothing like enjoying a cocktail on a hot summer day, am I right?! This summer strawberry cocktail recipe will be your go-to cocktail to have in hand! This is the perfect recipe to enjoy with your friends and a big platter of nachos! Strawberries are staples of summer at our house, with this cocktail recipe, you’ll want to always have them on hand. Let’s get to the recipe!
I wasn’t going to make you wait for this gem of a recipe. For the most part this is a very simple recipe. I’ve linked a strawberry simple syrup recipe for you also if you aren’t sure how to make it below from allrecipes.com. The best part is that you can use that simple syrup recipe for other cocktails or other recipes. I’m thinking strawberry milk for breakfast. And you can always omit the alcohol to make it a mock-tail recipe. You don’t have to use alcohol to have a good time or for it to be a delicious drink either.
