Notes
Chill the glass beforehand for a better drinking experience. Muddle berries gently to avoid bitterness from seeds. Adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup or lemon juice to taste. Can substitute vodka with gin or make non-alcoholic by using sparkling water or white grape juice. Prepare berry-vodka base ahead and add ice and soda before serving.
