Ingredients (4 servings)
1 cup vomFASS Premium Vodka
5 cups frozen strawberries – no sugar added
3 oz fresh lemon juice – freshly squeezed
¼ cup simple syrup*– or more, to taste (or, use honey)
sugar  and lemon zest – to rim glass, optional
extra lemon slices – garnish

Directions
Using a large blender, combine fresh lemon juice, frozen strawberries, vodka, and simple syrup, blend until smooth. 
Serve slushy mixture directly into prepared glasses or, if preparing ahead, pour into zippered freezer bag and place in freezer overnight (or longer).
To prepare glasses, run a lemon slice around the rims. Pour some sugar, and some lemon zest (optional) on to a plate, and press the rims of glasses on plate to get a nice, sugared rim. 
Remove frozen mix from freezer and gently massage freezer bag for 30 seconds and then scoop or squeeze from bag into serving glasses.
Serve with straw or spoon.
Put unserved portions back in the freezer.

*In recipes like this where the ingredients are blended, it is possible to use ¼ cup sugar with ¼ cup water (instead of simple syrup), as the sugar will dissolve during blending.
