Tips & Suggestions

Preparation

Preparation Tip 1

Use firm but ripe strawberries and muddle just until juices are released—over-muddling brings out seed bitterness, and since the cocktail has only a few ingredients, that comes through loudly.

Serving

Serving Tip 1

Chill the glass and vodka beforehand, but briefly shake the drink—excessive dilution mutes the strawberry's brightness and vodka's structure, both of which are core to the cocktail's directness.
