Perfect refreshing drink for the strawberry season.​

​

Do you have a favourite drink that you like to have during the summer? If I am absolutely honest with you, then my favourite thing to drink during summer when it is hot is water or water with a little lime :D Yes, I know, maybe it sounds boring, but it is what keeps me hydrated the best and what I can drink all day long in big quantities. However, occasionally I like to enjoy a little treat and that is where cocktails and mocktails step in :) This recipe for a Strawberry Gin Smash Cocktail that I am sharing with you today is packed with those beautiful summer flavours, it is really refreshing and super easy to make. I made it with some gin as the name suggests, but you can also easily skip the gin and you will have a delicious mocktail :)

​

There is another thing that you can adjust in this cocktail and that is the amount of lime juice and adding a little extra sweetness. I am more into sour cocktails than really sweet cocktails and that is why I added the juice of a half a lime into each cocktail and no extra sweetener. What you could do however is to reduce the amount of lime juice by half and add a little brown sugar or agave syrup to add some sweetness. I bet it would taste delicious that way :)

​

I hope you are enjoying the summer season and I hope you are going to try out my summery Strawberry Cocktail, whether like I made it with gin or as a mocktail.​

​

Enjoy Lovelies!
