Our graphic designer, Sarah says, “I love Louisiana strawberries and buy them by the pallet in the spring at our local downtown Baton Rouge Red Stick Farmers Market! I haven't baked or cooked with strawberries before, but I've infused some into vodka by mixing vodka and diced strawberries in a mason jar and letting it sit in the fridge for a week. This infusion mixed with a carbonated soda is a refreshing way to kick off spring in Louisiana!”
