What You’ll Need

Ingredients

• 0.5 oz Strawberry Puree
• 0.75 oz Triple Sec
• 0.5 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
• 0.5 oz Orange Juice
• Mini Bottle of Vodka (50ml / 1.7oz)
• Crushed Ice
• Orange Slices and/or Lime Slices
• Fresh Strawberry, for garnish

Gear

• Rocks Glass
• Bar Spoon or Stir Stick
• Measuring Jigger or Spoons
• (Optional) Cocktail Skewer for garnish

Preparation

Step 1: Layer the Base

Pour 0.5 oz strawberry puree directly into the bottom of a rocks glass.

Step 2: Ice & Fruit

Fill the glass with crushed ice.
Tuck a few orange or lime slices against the sides of the glass for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 3: Pour in the Mix

Over the ice, pour:

• 0.75 oz Triple Sec
• 0.5 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
• 0.5 oz Orange Juice

Do not stir—you want those layers to shine visually.

Step 4: Add the Vodka Bomb

Take your mini vodka bottle, open it, and quickly insert it upside down into the glass, nestled into the ice. The vodka will slowly release into the drink as you sip. (Pro tip: Use a glass wide enough to hold the bottle snugly!)

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Top with a fresh strawberry and a citrus slice or twist.
Serve with a straw and a little wink—it’s your moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep the mini vodka bottle from tipping?

Use a wide, sturdy glass filled tightly with crushed ice—it holds the bottle in place as the vodka seeps in slowly.

Can I make a non-alcoholic version?

Yes! Use strawberry and passion fruit syrups, orange juice, and a mini soda or tonic bottle upside down instead.

It starts light and fruity, but the longer the vodka mixes in, the stronger it gets—like a slow-building flavor bomb.
