Strawberry Cake Cocktail Recipe

I’m not a big drinker but I enjoy a cocktail with friends, so my “rule” is that if I’m too tired to whisk together three ingredients, then I’m too tired to indulge in a cocktail… let alone entertain other people!

Today’s Strawberry Cake Cocktail is a perfect cocktail to enjoy with friends. It’s smooth, sweet and juicy, with a creamy element without adding in any dairy products.

It tastes like a strawberry shortcake or a slice of frosted strawberry cake, but with a fraction of the calories and in a much more enjoyable form.

Almond simple syrup complements the strawberry and vanilla flavors, rounding out the flavour profile of this easy 4-ingredient cocktail to taste just like a strawberry cake.

I make my own almond simple syrup (it’s the same syrup I use to make homemade mai tais) but you can use pre-made if desired.

Strawberry Cake Cocktail Variations:

Amaretto instead of almond simple syrup
Blended and strained strawberries
Use a strawberry blend juice – like strawberry peach or strawberry lemon
Vanilla or cake vodka instead of whipped cream vodka
Sparkling strawberry juice for added fizz

Tip: I often order my liquor from Drizly because they have a quick delivery time (sometimes within 40 minutes) and no expensive mark-ups. Purchasing from them supports local retailers, too. You can order the Vanilla Vodka needed for this recipe from them.

Strawberry Cake Cocktail Ingredients

2-3 Tablespoons Almond Simple Syrup (orgeat)
2-3 Tablespoons Sprinkles
4 oz whipped cream vodka (or cake flavor or vanilla)
8 oz Strawberry Juice
Ice

Tip: if you want to skip the almond simple syrup, just garnish the glass with plain simple syrup and sprinkles – adding Amaretto for flavor.
