To make a strawberry martini, you will need fresh strawberries, vodka, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup. Start by hulling and slicing the strawberries and placing them in a shaker. Add the vodka, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker and muddle the ingredients together to release the strawberry flavor.
Next, fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15-20 seconds. Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a fresh strawberry or a slice of lime.
The beauty of the strawberry martini is that it is versatile and can be adjusted to your personal taste. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add more simple syrup or use a sweeter liqueur. If you like a stronger cocktail, you can increase the amount of vodka. You can also experiment with different garnishes, such as mint leaves or a sugared rim.
One variation of the strawberry martini is the strawberry basil martini. To make this version, add a few fresh basil leaves to the shaker and muddle them with the strawberries before adding the other ingredients. This adds a subtle herbal note to the cocktail and complements the sweetness of the strawberries.
Another variation is the strawberry lemonade martini, which uses lemonade instead of lime juice for a sweeter and tangier flavor. Simply replace the lime juice with your favorite lemonade and adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
In conclusion, the strawberry martini is a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its fresh and fruity flavor, it is sure to be a hit with your guests. So, grab some fresh strawberries and vodka, and start shaking up this refreshing cocktail today!
2 tsp Dry Vermouth
1 tsp Grenadine
Most like to frost the rim of the glass with sugar, very much like with the margaritas but using a cut strawberry instead of a lime. Drop a strawberry inside the glass instead of an olive like with the other martinis.
