Equipment

1 Cocktail shaker To shake the vodka, grape juice, and lime juice
1 Highball or rocks glass For serving over ice
1 Bar spoon To gently stir in the ginger ale
1 Cocktail pick Optional garnish with lime wheel, grape, and candied ginger

Ingredients

▢ 2 oz vodka - any decent vodka
▢ 2 oz Concord grape juice - preferably chilled
▢ 0.5 oz fresh lime juice - freshly squeezed, not bottled
▢ 2-4 oz ginger ale - add to taste, chilled
▢ 1 cup ice - cubed, for serving
▢ 3 pieces frozen grapes - optional, instead of ice cubes
▢ 1 slice lime wheel - for garnish
▢ 1 piece candied ginger - optional garnish

Instructions

Prepare the graham cracker crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon sugar until it resembles wet sand. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
Make the strawberry sauce: Dice half the strawberries and cook them with 1 tablespoon sugar and a splash of lemon juice over medium heat. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Cool completely.
Prepare the cheesecake base: Beat softened cream cheese with remaining sugar until smooth. Mix in condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully combined.
In a loaf pan, layer half the base, half the strawberry sauce, half the diced strawberries, and half the crust. Repeat and gently swirl with a knife.
Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Top with extra strawberries or crushed graham crackers if desired.
