Strawberry Paper Plane

It is no secret that I'm a big paper plane girl, and this olive oil marinated strawberry paper plane is exact proof of how good this simple cocktail can be. The cocktail itself already has many notes of strawberry, but when you add some muddled strawberry to the mix, it becomes one of my favorite drinks of summer.
Prep Time:5 minutes

Instructions

  • In a bowl, muddle the strawberries and olive oil together. Let this sit for 5 minutes to let the strawberries release their natural juices.
