HARD STRAWBERRY LEMONADE

Perfect for an outdoor party in May in Alabama!
1 cup sugar
1 cup of water
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh lemon juice (~8 or so lemons)
4-6 cups cold water (this will vary depending on your taste)
1 cup vodka

Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar with 1 cup of water in a saucepan.

Place over medium heat and heat until the sugar in completely dissolved; swirl the pan occasionally. Let cool.

Once the simple syrup has cooled, puree strawberries in a blender with ½ cup water.

In a large pitcher, combine strawberry puree, simple syrup and lemon juice. Add the vodka to the pitcher and stir to combine.
Add 4-6 cups of cold water. The amount of water you use will depend on your taste. Serve over ice.
