Strawberry Lemon Spritzer

For the strawberry lemon simple syrup:
In a medium sauce pan, add the sugar, water and strawberries. Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice into the pan. Toss the remaining lemon rind into the pan as well. Bring to a simmer on medium high heat. Once simmering, reduce to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, strain into a bowl and shmoosh the strawberries so no liquid remains. Let cool in the fridge.

For the strawberry lemon spritzer:
Add the ice to a tall glass. Measure the vodka and pour into the glass. Fill the glass almost all the way full with soda water. Pour in the strawberry lemon simple syrup in and stir. Garnish with strawberry and lemon.

Enjoy!
