This is a fun and refreshing summer cocktail thats perfect for casual get-togethers with friendsoutside, of course! I wasnt sure that the flavor of honey and strawberry would go, but it worked perfectly. Everything about this drink says summer to me!
We used vodka in our cocktail, but I think tequila might also be a fun option! You can find honey liqueur at most liquor stores --- it also makes a mean hot toddy.
You could also try blackberries instead of strawberries! Just make sure they are super ripe and sweet. A sugared rim makes this cocktail complete and if you happen to have a kitchen blow torch laying around, you can use it to carefully caramelize the sugar on the rim of the glass.
