To make Tito's strawberry lemonade, inspired by Miller's Ale House, you'll need a few simple ingredients and a little bit of preparation. This refreshing cocktail combines the sweetness of strawberries with the tartness of lemonade, making it a perfect summer drink.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make Tito's strawberry lemonade:
1. Gather your ingredients:
– Tito's vodka
– Fresh strawberries
– Lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
– Ice cubes
– Optional: sugar or simple syrup (if you prefer a sweeter drink)
2. Prepare the strawberries:
– Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems.
– Slice the strawberries into small pieces or mash them slightly to release their juices.
– If desired, you can sprinkle a little sugar on the strawberries to enhance their sweetness. Let them sit for a few minutes to macerate.
3. Make the strawberry puree:
– Take a handful of the sliced or mashed strawberries and place them in a blender or food processor.
– Blend until you get a smooth puree. You can strain the puree if you prefer a smoother consistency, but it's not necessary.
4. Mix the cocktail:
– In a glass or pitcher, combine the strawberry puree and lemonade in a ratio that suits your taste. Start with equal parts and adjust according to your preference for sweetness and tartness.
– Stir the mixture well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
– Add Tito's vodka to the strawberry lemonade mixture. The amount of vodka can vary depending on how strong you want your drink. Start with 1-2 ounces per serving and adjust as desired.
5. Serve and enjoy:
– Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the Tito's strawberry lemonade over the ice.
– Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a slice of lemon, if desired.
– Give the drink a quick stir before sipping and savoring the delightful combination of flavors.
Personal tip: If you prefer a frozen version of Tito's strawberry lemonade, you can blend the mixture with ice in a blender until you achieve a slushy consistency. This is a great option for hot summer days or when you want a frosty treat.
Remember, the beauty of making cocktails at home is that you can customize them to your liking. Feel free to experiment with different ratios of strawberry puree, lemonade, and vodka until you find the perfect balance of flavors that suits your taste buds.
So, go ahead and indulge in the refreshing goodness of Tito's strawberry lemonade. Cheers!
