Valentine's Day Cocktail

Julie Davis
Sweet, fresh, and the perfect shade of pink, this strawberry vanilla cocktail is such a tasty Valentine's Day treat. Think strawberry ice cream or vanilla cake in a cocktail! The egg white gives this drink a creamy, frothy texture, and the vanilla vodka rounds out the bright strawberry flavor. It's perfect for a Valentine's date night or a fun Galentine's gathering!

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces vanilla vodka
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 2 ounces strawberry simple syrup
  • 2 medium ripe strawberries muddled
  • 1 large egg white

Strawberry Simple Syrup

  • 8 ounces sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions
 

Simple Syrup Instructions

  • Add the sliced strawberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
  • Stir them well and then lower heat to simmer.
  • Let the strawberries simmer for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, strain the syrup into a jar or bowl and let it cool completely.

Drink Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  • Shake the contents vigorously for 1 minute. Set a timer - the egg whites need time to get frothy!
  • Strain the drink slowly through a fine mesh strainer into a coupe glass or glass of your choice.
  • Serve with chocolate shavings, freeze dried strawberries, and/or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

    • Strawberry Syrup - Substitute the sugar for the low-calorie sweetener of your choice if you want to make it lower sugar. I also love making this a day or two ahead so it's ready to go when it's time to make the drinks.
    • Straining the Drink - The muddled strawberries tend to jam up the cocktail shaker, so slowly pouring your drink through a fine mesh strainer over the glass works best!
    • Toppings - Chocolate shavings, white or dark chocolate sauce, crumbled freeze-dried strawberries, dried rose petals, or whipped cream would all be delicious additions to this cocktail. A pink sugar rim would be so cute, too!
