A recipe doesn’t have to be difficult to be a success. This vodka-strawberry drink, adapted from a recipe by Argiro Barbarigou, takes only 15 minutes to make and is always a hit with our guests.

• 500 g fresh strawberries
• 500 g caster sugar
• 700 ml vodka

Purée the strawberries in a blender or food processor.

Add the sugar and blend until you get a smooth mixture.

Add the vodka and blend just a little to incorporate.

Transfer the mixture to a bottle and refrigerate.

This is not a liqueur, so you don’t need to wait a long time. Once cold, you can drink it!

Always shake the bottle well, before serving.

You can also freeze it, in which case it will become more sorbet-like.
