A Note Before You Start
This recipe requires a little planning ahead as it calls for mixing the two juices together and then freezing them in ice cube trays. I substituted pomegranate for cranberry juice as I already had it on hand and it was still delicious!
Ingredients
1/4 cup of fresh lime juice
1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp cranberry juice, divided
2 cups of frozen strawberries
1 cup of lemon vodka
1/4 cup Cointreau
Lime slices for garnish
Preparation
Step 1: In a large liquid measuring cup, combine the lime juice and 1 1/2c of cranberry juice. Divide among 2 ice cube trays and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
Step 2: In a blender, puree the flavored ice cubes, strawberries, vodka, Cointreau and the remaining 2 Tbsp of cranberry juice until thick and smooth. Divide between 4 glasses and garnish with lime slices.
Bonus: If you happen to have any leftovers, you can pour the mixture into a sealed container and freeze. The mixture becomes a boozy sorbet.
