  • Add the lemon juice, sugar, and cold water. Stir until combined. If needed, you can use 4 - 5 cups of lemonade instead of the lemon juice, sugar, and water.
  • Add the vodka and stir again until combined. Then add ice. Taste and adjust sugar, lemon, or water measurements to your liking.

Notes

Use sparkling water. You can swap out the water for water if you want to spice up this cocktail!
Use frozen strawberries. You can use frozen strawberries too, just defrost them and then muddle them.
Use limes. Make this a strawberry vodka limeade by using limes instead of lemons.
Store-Bought Lemonade. To make this recipe even easier, you can use 4 to 5 cups of store-bought lemonade instead of the lemons and sugar.
Single Serve. Same instructions as above with these ingredient measurements: 2 – 3 strawberries, 2 – 3 Tbsp sugar or honey, 3/4 cup water or sparkling water, 1 shot (1/5 ounces) of vodka, juice from 1 lemon, and a handful of ice. 
Make Ahead. You can make this homemade strawberry vodka lemonade up to 1 day in advance to serve at a party or event.
Storing: Vodka strawberry lemonade is best consumed within 1 day of preparation. However, for best results, store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to stir it before serving!
