Strawberry Spritzer Cocktail with Strawberry Syrup
You will love this refreshing strawberry spritzer cocktail with a lemon squeeze. Get ready to meet your new favorite summer vodka drink!

A strawberry spritzer is a simple summer cocktail. This version contains strawberry cocktail syrup, lemon juice, and vodka. Then, it’s topped with club soda or seltzer. It’s served on the rocks and is light, fizzy, and ultra-refreshing on a spring or summer afternoon. You can make a bottle of homemade strawberry simple syrup! It’s easy and oh-so-worth-it. If you don’t want to craft your own, buy premade strawberry cocktail syrup.
Serve this at a spring or summer cocktail party or in the backyard on a warm evening.
Ingredients
Make your strawberry cocktail syrup using fresh seasonal strawberries. It is sweet and delicious and tastes like a field of strawberries on a sunny day! It’s totally worth the effort to make strawberry simple syrup, and it only needs 2 ingredients! You can also buy strawberry cocktail syrup!
Acidic lemon juice adds a subtle citrusy flavor and enhances the strawberry flavor.
Your favorite vodka. Make it with plain vodka for a crisp, refreshing beverage with a sweet strawberry flavor. Or, use raspberry vodka to make this taste like candy! I’ve tried it with leftover raspberry vodka from making love potion cocktails.
Sparkling water, seltzer, or club soda makes this drink fizzy and ultra-refreshing. Use your favorite unsweetened seltzer, or make it with a soda stream.
Plenty of ice for serving this cold summer cocktail on the rocks.
