Notes

This makes about 8 servings. You can certainly halve the recipe.

I like to make this ahead of time, without the vodka, and keep it chilled.

When ready to serve, add desired amount of vodka based off of individual preferences (or add what I suggested), and make 1-2 at a time in a cocktail shaker with ice and pour into a martini glass.

Add additional water, or vodka to make it thinner or to your preference.
