If you’re looking for a sweet and springy cocktail that’s just a little different, you’re in luck. This strawberry shortcake cocktail is unlike any drink you’ve ever had, but you’ll love the familiar flavors of whipped cream, strawberry, and lemonade.

It’s pretty and pink from the strawberries, and you can add mint leaves or lemon slices for even more color. But whatever you do, don’t skip the whipped cream vodka! It’s essential for getting that sweetness and shortcake flavor.
