What is in a Vodka Spritzer?
Low calorie. Gluten-free. Sugar-free. Pick your buzzword. Damn good is the buzzword I choose for this strawberry Lime Vodka Spritzer recipe. Simple ingredients give you a simple flavor.
- Strawberries - Fresh strawberries are going to be the best for this cocktail, but frozen can also be used if you can't find good fresh strawberries.
- Limes - Fresh limes sit on my counter at all times so I am always ready for a good cocktail. The lime juice is a perfect compliment to the strawberries. Plus lime juice is lower in sugars than many other fruit juices.
- Vodka - Like a martini, a high-end vodka is best for this cocktail. Whether it is Tito's or even a top shelf like Kettle One or Grey Goose, don't skimp on a cheap vodka for this cocktail.
- Soda water - You can splurge and even get lime-flavored sparkling water

How to Make a Strawberry Lime Vodka Spritzer
The thing about this cocktail is the low amount of cocktails. I grab a mason jar and fill it halfway with fruit. Then cover the fruit with vodka. And let it marinate so to speak. After coming in from being outside for an afternoon or evening of weeding or corn picking or calf washing I fill the mason jar the rest of the way with soda water. And enjoy what simple ingredients have to offer.
However, if you are in a hurry to make this strawberry lime cocktail. Toss some sliced strawberries, lime juice, and limes in the cocktail shaker. Add the ice and the vodka. Then give it a shake
Pour the strawberry-lime vodka into a glass filled with ice and more sliced limes and strawberries. It will have a bit of strawberry puree in it, so screen if you want it to be less cloudy.
To the top of the vodka pour the soda water. Either regular or lime sparkling water will work perfectly in this strawberry-lime vodka spritzer.
