Remove the syrup from the stove and strain out the strawberry chunks. Let it cool slightly before mixing it into your drink.
• Add the strawberry syrup, vodka and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well for 5-7 seconds until the outside of the cocktail shaker is frosted. Strain and serve into a chilled glass with fresh ice. Enjoy responsibly!
