Cherry Lime Margarita

Thirsty Thursday is bringing you the ultimate summer refresher. The Strawberry Lime Vodka Smash combines muddled fresh strawberries with zesty lime juice and fragrant mint, creating a vibrant cocktail that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. The addition of club soda gives it that perfect fizzy finish that makes every sip feel like a celebration.

If you love fresh, fruity cocktails that capture the essence of summer, try our Strawberry Basil Margarita for another herb-infused strawberry delight or the Ginger Grapefruit Paloma for a similarly refreshing citrus experience. Both deliver that same bright, invigorating taste with their own unique flavor profiles.
