Strawberry Wine Coolers

Simple, Fresh, Southern by Matt and Ted Lee
serves 6

1 pound fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
2 ounces vodka
generous pinch of kosher salt
2 750-mL bottles off-dry white wine, such as an American Reisling, chilled
Keep 6 strawberries for garnish, and combine the rest in a blender with the vodka, salt, and 2 scant cups of the wine.

Puree on the highest setting for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is frothy and smooth.

Strain the puree through a fine-mesh seive into a pitcher (and eat the pulp!), pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1-2 hours.

To serve, fill wine glasses with ice, and divide the mixture among them, filling each glass about half-full. Top with remaining white wine, and stir. Garnish with the reserved strawberries, and serve.
