Vodka and Strawberry.. Vodberry? Strawdka?

Written by Rolf

Whatever the name, this is the ultimate summer drink! Luscious sweet red strawberries soaked in hardcore vodka. Here is the recipe and how to do it.

Ingredients

For two persons. Because you will want to share this with a special someone:

- 350 grams fresh strawberries (NOT from a can/tin/jar)
- 200 ml vodka (the regular stuff, 40%)
- 50-80 gram sugar (10-16 full teaspoons)
- 2 glasses (approx 250ml sized)
- a refrigerator

Recipe

Chop up the strawberries into 1-2 cm bits and pieces. Don't worry about making them equal, irregularities are better! You should have enough strawberries to fill up two glasses. Do so. Scoop the sugar on top of the strawberry-filled glasses. Five to eight teaspoons works best. Pour the vodka in the glasses, so that the strawberries at the top are almost submerged. Put the glasses in the fridge to cool and soak.

For the best taste effect, let this soak for at least 8-12 hours. The bright red colors will fade somewhat, but the strawberries and vodka will have exchanged their flavours, which is what we want. Before serving, give the stuff a good but careful stir, so the sugar will be all through the vodka. Serve with a dessert spoon.
