Instructions
Place strawberries in a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
Pour strawberries and sugar into your food processor (or blender) and puree until smooth, like really smooth. You don't want a lot of chunks.
At this point your can use your puree as is. If you're not into floaties in your drinks, press the puree through a fine mesh sieve (working in batches) extracting all the liquid possible and discarding the pulp. Refrigerate puree until ready to serve.
Combine 1/2 the puree with one 2-liter of soda and stir to combine.
For serving:
Add 1 to 2 scoops of ice cream to a mason jar (or serving glass), add vodka if desired, and then fill the glass with strawberry soda. Add a spoon, a straw, and serve!
Notes
If you're making a big pitcher of spiked punch, start with 1 1/2 cup vodka (enough for about 6 cocktails) and add more as desired 1/2 cup at a time.
