Kitchen Appliances

Here’s a quick list of what you’ll need:

How To Make Chili’s Deep Eddy Strawberry Texas Lemonade

Step 1 | Prepare the Strawberries

Take 2-3 fresh strawberries, remove the stems, and place them in the bottom of your cocktail shaker. Muddle them gently to release their juices and sweetness.

Step 2 | Add Simple Syrup and Lime Juice

Pour in ½ oz of simple syrup and ½ oz of fresh lime juice over the muddled strawberries.

Step 3 | Give It a Good Muddle

Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to mash everything together until the strawberries are well mixed with the syrup and lime juice.

Step 4 | Add Vodka

Add 2 oz of Deep Eddy Strawberry Vodka to the shaker. If you like your drink a little stronger, you can add an extra half-ounce.

Step 5 | Shake with Ice

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the drink.

Step 6 | Prepare Your Glass

Rim your rocks glass with sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, then fill it with fresh ice.

Step 7 | Strain the Drink

Double strain the mixture into the glass. This helps keep the strawberry seeds out of your drink, giving you a smooth texture.

Step 8 | Garnish

Add a strawberry wedge and a sprig of mint for a beautiful and fragrant garnish.

Recipe Notes

• Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh strawberries give the best flavor and color to the drink. Frozen strawberries can work in a pinch, but they won’t be as vibrant.
• Rimming the Glass: If you like an extra sweet touch, don’t skip rimming the glass with sugar.
• Chilling the Drink: Make sure to shake the drink well with ice to properly chill it and blend the flavors.

Recipe Variations and Additions

1. Add Club Soda: For a fizzy twist, top the drink with a splash of club soda or sparkling water.
2. Mix with Lemonade: If you want a more traditional lemonade flavor, add a splash of lemonade to the mix.
3. Swap the Vodka: If you don’t have Deep Eddy Strawberry Vodka, try a classic Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka for a citrusy variation.
4. Make it Sweeter: If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase the amount of simple syrup or use extra sweet strawberries.

Serving Suggestion

This cocktail is best served chilled in a rocks glass with a sugar rim. You can also serve it in a mason jar for a more casual, rustic feel.

Garnish with a sprig of mint and a strawberry wedge to elevate the presentation.

It’s perfect for sipping on a warm day or enjoying with friends during a relaxing evening.

Storage Tips

Refrigerate Leftovers: If you have any leftover cocktail mixture, store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one day. Keep in mind that the fresh strawberry flavor will be best when consumed fresh.

Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the muddled strawberries, lime juice, and simple syrup mix ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, just add vodka and ice.

Don’t Freeze: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, so freezing is not recommended.
