This summer, try a refreshing strawberry vodka cocktail made with Svedka strawberry vodka and V8 Sparkling Energy. This is a light drink that's perfect for summer evenings. You can make this as energy drink cocktails with V8 Sparkling Energy or use a sparkling flavored water instead.
After a long day of working in the heat, there's just something about sitting on the patio with a refreshing drink. I'm partial to fruity drinks, and I really like this strawberry and vodka cocktail.
It's made with a can of V8 Sparkling Energy (or sub for any sparkling soda), so it's easy to make. Both are shelf stable, so just grab them off the shelf and mix.
I added some freshly sliced kiwi and strawberry for looks, but you can definitely just use the strawberry vodka and the sparkling water to make a strawberry kiwi alcoholic drink.
This would be a fun drink for a small party too. You can have different flavors of vodka or sparkling water. Then let guests create their own energy drink cocktails.
Have a bucket of ice and some sliced fruit, and you have pretty drinks with almost no effort during the party.
Strawberry Kiwi Alcoholic Drink Recipe
I love the simplicity of this strawberry and vodka cocktail. I don't drink very often, so I don't want to keep special juices in the fridge. They'd go bad before I could use them!
My kids and I both like sparkling waters. So I keep some in the fridge for hot evenings when you need something cold and refreshing.
They swim for a bit, and I sit at the patio table and play cards with the hubby or read at book. I have been known to sip some kiwi strawberry vodka.

What Does Strawberry Vodka Taste Like?
I used Svedka Strawberry Guava vodka to make this strawberry and vodka cocktail. You can use this brand or a strawberry vodka. I'll also give directions below to make your own strawberry infused vodka so you can make strawberry vodka drinks.
Strawberry vodka has a pleasant taste. It takes almost like vodka mixed with strawberry juice. However, it still has the same alcohol content as regular vodka.

Is V8 Sparkling Energy Good For You?
V8 Sparkling Energy is a healthier option for an energy drink. The cans are BPA free, and they have half the sugar as other energy drinks.
I like using V8 to make energy drink cocktails because it has a serving of vegetables and fruit, and they are non GMO and don't have artificial flavors or colors. There's no added sugar, and there's only 60 calories per serving. Plus they have B vitamins.
How Much Caffeine is in V8 Sparkling Energy?
