To create the strawberry-infused vodka, place the sliced strawberries into a clean glass jar and pour the vodka over them. Seal the jar and let it steep overnight (or for at least 8 hours) in a cool, dark place.

Fill your serving glasses with ice.
Pour the Strawberry Vodka Spritzer over the ice, garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or a mint sprig, and enjoy immediately.
Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the finished cocktail to brighten the flavors and add a touch of citrusy zest.
