I've dubbed this sweet strawberry cocktail recipe a Strawberry Candy Cocktail. It has the kick of a regular cocktail, but the sweet orgeat and sprinkles on the rim make it festive, almost in a kiddie drink kind of way.
Strawberry Cocktail
A generous dose of strawberry juice (or strawberry nectar) makes this drink super fruity. The cream or vanilla vodka adds to the candy-like mood of the drink and the sweet colorful rim seal the deal. This mixed drink is all about fun!

Making the Strawberry Candy Cocktail
Other than mixing the strawberry nectar and vodka the only thing to do is candy coat the cocktail glass rim. A martini or margarita glass are both well suited for the drink.
First dunk the lip of the glass in orgeat, a sweet almond syrup popular in tiki cocktails. Then dunk into a dish of sprinkles and swirl until the tiny candies stick. Pour in your drinks and serve.
