This is one of the easiest summer holiday cocktails there is to make this season, with just three ingredients to grab. This martini is on the sweeter side, made with vodka, simple syrup and muddled with a good handful of strawberries. Simple yet classy, you can just imagine how well this cocktail pairs with brunch in the garden with all its Insta-appeal. 

Strawberry Basil Cocktail

The sweet aromas of ripe strawberries and basil are fragrant and intoxicating in their own right but together, they’re a perfect marriage that just spells out summer and sunshine. A squeeze of lime takes things up a notch for a lip-smackingly delicious cocktail that’s a picnic in a glass! Try this refreshingly sweet and herby combination when the weekend ahead guarantees sunshine – all you need to do is wheel out the BBQ and get serving for some serious summer vibes. 

Strawberry Lime Vodka Smash

As far as easy summer cocktails go, this is the one you’ll want to make (and smash) again and again this summer. A Strawberry Lime Vodka Smash is tart, sweet and thirst-quenching, ideal for summer alfresco get-togethers on long warm days. An easy to make cocktail, it’s just a matter of muddling together fresh strawberries and zingy lime juice with drizzle of honey, adding smooth vodka and topping it up with sparkling water. Make it pretty with a sprig of mint and a few extra berries.

Strawberry Smash Cocktail

If you like the sound of the recipe for Strawberry Lime Vodka Smash above but prefer a sweeter less tart option, then omit the lime juice in your muddle for that oh so summery sip. A perfect picnic pleaser that can be made up in advance and bottled. Just leave out the sparkling water to top up in the park and add the pretty fizz too, as you pour.  

Strawberry Prosecco Rossini Cocktail

If you like a Bellini Cocktail, try this pimped strawberry version called a Rossini. This will become your fave strawberry vodka cocktail recipe, ever! This bubbly drink was named after the famous Italian composer who’s known for composing a bubbly piece of music or two. To make a Rossini, add 2 or 3 halved strawberries to the blender with 1 teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of vodka and a squeeze of lemon. Blitz until smooth, pour into a flute and top up with Prosecco. Garnish with a strawberry and switch off for the rest of the day! 

Strawberries and Vodka Frozen Cocktail

If you are partial to a slushie, then this ice-cold boozy freeze is right up your alley. Freeze strawberries and blitz up in a blender with a dash of lime, simple syrup and vodka. Perfect to enjoy with friends on lazy hot summer weekends. .

Strawberry Daiquiri with Vodka

A favourite of the easy summer cocktails and an obligatory poolside order on holiday, the pretty-in-pink Strawberry Daiquiri is the ultimate summer classic, even if it’s sipped on your patio! Traditionally made with rum, our version uses vodka for a smooth twist. Whip it up in seconds with a blender and enjoy this easy drinking cocktail on warm sunny days outdoors with tasty snacks.
