Ingredients
  

  • 1½ oz Vodka - I used Costco’s Kirkland brand of plain vodka.
  • 4 oz Lemonade - Your favorite already sweetened bottled lemonade – I used the Kirkland's brand of organic lemonade.
  • 1 whole Fresh Strawberry - cut into 4 equal pieces - plus more for garnishing
  • 3 or 4 Fresh Blueberries - for garnishing at the end
  • 2 oz Sparkling Prosecco Wine - or more as desired, for topping off cocktail at the end
  • Blue Sanding Sugars - optional - for cocktail rim if desired

Instructions
 

  • Swipe a rocks glass with a wedge of fresh lemon and dip in blue sanding sugar.  Set aside.
  • Cut a large and ripe fresh strawberry into 4 equal pieces and drop into the bottom of your cocktail shaker tin. Muddle it until completely crushed. 
  • Add the vodka to the crushed strawberry pieces and then splash in the lemonade.
  • Fill shaker with ice until three-quarters of the way full.  Cover and shake thoroughly until berries, vodka, and lemonade are cold and combined.
  • Fill your rocks cocktail glass with fresh ice.  Using a cocktail strainer, strain the vodka strawberry lemonade mixture into your rocks glass over the fresh ice.
  • Top off your festive Fourth of July drink with chilled sparkling prosecco wine as desired. Top with fresh blueberries and strawberries. Serve cold.
