1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 cups vodka
1 1/2 ounces strawberry vodka
2 sprigs fresh mint
1/2 ounce freshly-squeezed lime juice
1/2 ounce agave syrup or simple syrup
Ice
2 to 3 ounces chilled ginger beer
1 thinly sliced strawberry for garnish
1 lime wheel for garnish

Steps:

For the strawberry vodka: Combine vodka and berries in a glass jar, cover, and shake, and let sit at room temperature at least 12 hours and up to 72 hours. Taste the vodka every 12 hours -- when it's as strawberry flavored as you like, strain through a fine mesh seive, discard berries, and keep the vodka.( Tip The strawberry vodka will stay up to 1 month when stored in the freezer in an airtight container.) For one cocktail: Add leaves from 1 mint sprig, lime juice, and agave in a cocktail shaker and use a wooden spoon or muddler to break up the mint. Add enough ice to fill the shaker halfway, add 1 1/2 ounces of the strawberry vodka, close and shake for 15 to 20 seconds. Strain mixture into a highball glass filled halfway with ice and 1 sliced strawberry, top with ginger beer, garnish with remaining mint sprig and lime wheel and serve.
