• Ingredients

• 1kg strawberries, hulled, plus sliced berries to serve
• 1/2 cup (125ml) white balsamic condiment (from supermarkets)
• 1 cup (220g) caster sugar
• 200ml vodka (or more if you like)
• 1L (4 cups) soda water
• Ice cubes and mint leaves, to serve

• Method

1. Step 1
   Roughly chop berries in a food processor, then transfer to a bowl with vinegar. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Step 2
   Strain through a fine seive over a bowl, stirring to allow the liquid to drip through until you have about 1 cup (250ml) liquid. Simmer liquid and sugar in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes until reduced slightly. Cool syrup in fridge. To serve, pour syrup into a tall jug, add vodka, ice and soda, then garnish with mint and berries.
