Originating ... more The Bad Strawberry cocktail is a refreshing and fruity drink that combines the flavors of vodka, white rum, fresh strawberries, and a splash of lime juice and soda water. Originating in the 1980s, this cocktail was inspired by the popular strawberry daiquiri but with a twist of added vodka for an extra kick. The combination of the two different rums adds a depth of flavor, while the lime juice provides a subtle tartness to balance out the sweetness of the fresh strawberries. The result is a delicious and addictive cocktail that is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day. The Bad Strawberry is a great choice for those who enjoy a fruity and slightly boozy drink with a hint of tanginess.
