Strawberry Mint Fizz

Remember the stewed strawberries from the Starbucks overnight oats recipe? I used them to create this delicious and refreshing cocktail. I like to use gin but you can substitute vodka or cut out the alcohol for a mocktail if you prefer.

This recipe makes one cocktail but you could easily double it to make two, but be careful they are very addicting! If you love this recipe, share it! Drop a comment below, follow on Facebook or Instagram, and Pinterest. Enjoy!
