Units
Scale
- 10 ounces (1 1/2 cups) frozen strawberries, defrosted (or use fresh)
- 1/2 cup good quality orange juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons agave nectar, or to taste
- 1 to 2 shots vodka (use gluten free vodka for GF people)
- 3 to 5 dashes of Tabasco hot sauce (or to taste)
- 2 fresh strawberries, for garnish (if desired)
Instructions
- Blend: Add the defrosted strawberries including any juices to a blender along with the orange juice. Blend on high until smooth. Taste and add 1 to 2 tablesoons of agave nectar – this will depend on how sweet your strawberries happen to be.
- Spice it up: To a cocktail shaker, or a mason jar add 3 to 4 ice cubes along with 1 cup of the strawberry puree, and the vodka and a few dashes of the Tabasco sauce. Shake until it’s well combined and some of the ice has melted. Taste and add more Tabasco sauce, if desired.
- Serve it up: Place a few more ice cubes, or 1 large cocktail ice cube into your serving glasses. Strain the drink, holding back any other ice cubes, into the glass. Garnish with a strawberry, if desired and serve immediately. Repeat with the other half of the strawberry puree – you will get 2 drinks out of this recipe.
