It's strawberry season here in the Sunshine State, the Florida Strawberry Festival is in full swing in Plant City and these red little beauties can be found at rock-bottom prices at the grocery store and local farmers' markets. Yes, you could make strawberry shortcake with them again, but why not try something a little different this year? Something a little more "spirited" to go with this warming weather?
To shake things up a bit (pun intended), I scoured the interwebs and tasty-looking foodie blogs for recipes to impart some inspiration for using those strawberries in some fabulous-looking cocktails. Bonus: You'll be getting added vitamins and antioxidants in your diet by adding this berry to your booze.
Get mixing!
