The vanilla bean and strawberries in this drink are a spectacular combination. A hint of lemon juice takes all the muddled flavors to the next level of goodness. This drink can also be made in bulk for a party and it is so beautiful with the powdered sugar rim. I have seriously been dreaming of this drink since I made it. This cocktail will bring even more light to your world and make you forget all about your troubles.
