Instructions
Make and chill strawberry simple syrup a few hours in advance: In small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together water and sugar until almost a simmer. The sugar should be completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and add the chopped strawberries. Let them steep and infuse the syrup for 3o minutes. Strain and chill* the strawberry simple syrup.
Add 1/2 cup chilled strawberry simple syrup, 1/2 cup rose' wine, 1/4 cup vodka and juice of half a lime to your blender. Add ice and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses, garnish with strawberry or lime slice. They're nice to drink with a straw too. Sometimes I'll cut the straws in half if they're too tall for the glass. Cheers! Happy Summer!
