The Strawberry Bouquet Cocktail is pure sunshine in a glass—light, bubbly, and bursting with juicy strawberry goodness. It’s got that perfect balance of sweet, tart, and just a little bitter, thanks to a splash of Aperol. And let’s be real—when a drink looks this stunning, it’s basically made for brunch tables, garden parties, or any excuse to pour something delicious. And the secret to that vibrant, real-fruit flavor? A high-quality strawberry syrup that actually tastes like strawberries—not candy.

Whether you’re toasting to spring, celebrating something special, or simply treating yourself to a gorgeous cocktail, this Strawberry Bouquet Cocktail recipe is one you’ll want to keep on repeat.

From Vodka to Strawberry Syrup—Here’s What You’ll Need

A well-crafted cocktail relies on balance—a little sweetness, a little tartness, and just the right touch of bitterness. Here’s what you’ll need to create the Strawberry Bouquet Cocktail:

• 1½ oz Vodka – A smooth, clean vodka acts as the base, allowing the fruit and floral flavors to shine.
  
  
• ¾ oz Fresh Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed for the best flavor. The bright acidity cuts through the sweetness, creating a beautifully balanced sip.
  
  
• ¾ oz Strawberry Syrup – The star ingredient! Our Liquid Alchemist Strawberry Syrup brings real, juicy strawberry flavor, ensuring a natural, vibrant fruitiness.
  
  
• ¾ oz Aperol – This citrusy, slightly bitter aperitif adds depth and contrast, keeping the drink light yet sophisticated.
  
  
• 1-2 oz Sparkling Wine (Optional) – A gentle effervescence makes this cocktail feel extra special, perfect for celebrations or an elegant touch.
  
  
• Ice – Essential for chilling and slightly diluting the drink to perfection.
  
  
• Garnish: Edible Flower – A simple but striking addition, enhancing the drink’s beauty and adding a delicate floral aroma.
  
  

Sip in Style—How to Make a Picture-Perfect Strawberry Bouquet Cocktail

This cocktail is all about balance, elegance, and a touch of sparkle. Follow these simple steps to mix up a light, refreshing, and floral Strawberry Bouquet Cocktail recipe.

1. Chill Your Glass

Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes. A chilled glass keeps the drink crisp and enhances the overall sipping experience.

2. Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine:

• 1½ oz vodka
• ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
• ¾ oz Liquid Alchemist Strawberry Syrup
• ¾ oz Aperol
  
  

3. Shake It Up

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-12 seconds. This step properly chills and aerates the mixture, creating a silky-smooth texture.

4. Add Sparkle (Optional)

If using sparkling wine, pour it into the shaker after shaking, then give a gentle stir to incorporate it without losing the bubbles.

5. Strain & Serve

Remove your chilled glass from the freezer and double strain the cocktail into it for a smooth, refined texture without ice shards.

6. Garnish & Enjoy

Finish with an edible flower floating on top—this elevates the presentation and adds a delicate floral aroma to every sip.

7. Sip & Savor

Take a sip and enjoy the perfect harmony of sweet strawberry, tart lemon, and the bittersweet depth of Aperol. Light, refreshing, and effortlessly elegant—cheers to your new favorite cocktail!
