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, Ifull-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 co*cktail 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 co*cktails. So hey, you could even enjoy a few of these babies.
Tips & Tricks
The one thing you should do with this co*cktail is use a good muddler. A muddler will help infuse the strawberry and lime flavors into the vodka so it disperses among the co*cktail so you get a little sweetness from the strawberry and a little sour from the lime for the perfect balance.

I’ve always been a gin and tonic kind of person, but that’s because of the something extra that gin brings as opposed to just vodka. The strawberries in this really solves that for me. Delicious.

Gin does have that extra flavor but vodka is just so smooth and yes, those strawberries and lime take care of that.
