Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and 3/4 cup of water. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture has slightly thickened and reduced, approximately 10 minutes.

04

Step

Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar, discarding the solids. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Allow the strawberry simple syrup to cool completely before refrigerating until ready to use. (Cool time: 30 minutes)

06

Step

Pour 1 3/4 cups of vodka from the liter bottle and reserve for another use. This creates space for the other ingredients.

07

Step

To the remaining vodka in the bottle, add 1/2 cup of the cooled strawberry simple syrup, 3/4 cup orange liqueur, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, and the remaining 1/4 cup of water.

08

Step

Seal the bottle tightly and gently tilt to mix the ingredients thoroughly. (Mix time: 1 minute)

09

Step

Place the sealed bottle in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours, or until ready to serve. This ensures the Cosmopolitans are perfectly chilled. (Freeze time: 6 hours minimum)

10

Step

Before serving, lightly shake the bottle to ensure even distribution of flavors. Pour into chilled martini glasses and garnish with a fresh lime slice, if desired.

For an extra burst of flavor, consider using high-quality, locally sourced strawberries when in season.
Adjust the sweetness of the simple syrup to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
Ensure the simple syrup is completely cooled before adding it to the vodka to prevent diluting the alcohol.
If you prefer a less intense strawberry flavor, you can reduce the amount of simple syrup used.
Garnish with a flamed orange peel for an elegant presentation and added citrus aroma.
Make sure your freezer is not overfilled; an overfilled freezer might slow down the cooling of the beverage.
