Strawberry Martini Ingredients

1. Whipped Cream Vodka
2. Strawberry Liqueur
3. Lemon Juice
4. Simple Syrup, Optional
5. Fresh Strawberries for Garnish

Tips

First, you’ll need Whipped Cream vodka. For flavored vodkas, I like both Veil and Pinnacle; they are both reasonably priced.

You can use either lemon from a bottle or freshly squeezed lemon juice. Of course, freshly squeezed lemon juice is best. If you don’t have a lemon squeezer, try this one. The non-slip grip is perfect for squeezing lemons and limes.

I recently discovered Drillaud while browsing in the liquor store. To my surprise, there are at least 2 dozen fruit-flavored Drillaud liqueurs. I can’t help but buy a different flavor every time I stop in the store. They are an excellent brand for fruit-flavored liqueurs.

Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further

Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun. 

I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!

Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?

And remember the chilled martini glass. Nothing is worse than a martini in a warm glass. Check out these 2 that I recommend. Joy Jolt set of 6 martini glasses in multi-colors and Crafthouse by Fortessa, set of 4 martini glasses. They are both dishwasher-safe.

But if ‘bling’ is your style, you can find the bling martini glasses here. They make great holiday gifts for your entertaining friends. Of course, don’t forget to buy a pair for yourself.

How to Make a Strawberry Martini

Place your martini glass in the freezer while preparing the cocktail. Nothing is worse than a martini in a warm glass.

Take a few fresh strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them into thin wedges. Set aside a couple of strawberries for garnish.

Optional: Muddle the strawberry slices in the cocktail shaker to release their juices and enhance the fruity flavor. This will add some pulp to the martini, and it will not be as clear as the photo, but it will taste just as delicious.

Fill the shaker half full of ice, add the Whipped Cream Vodka, Strawberry Liqueur, simple syrup (if you prefer a sweeter cocktail), and lemon juice, and let it sit for 1 minute.

Secure the lid on the shaker, and with two hands holding the top and bottom of the shaker, shake the ingredients vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.

Pour the strained contents of the shaker into the chilled martini glass.

Garnish your Strawberry Martini with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass or float a slice on the drink’s surface. This adds a touch of elegance and hints at the delightful flavor within.

The Strawberry Martini is a delightful fusion of premium vodka and luscious strawberry liqueur, creating a cocktail that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious. With its refreshing taste and vibrant red hue, this drink is perfect for warm summer evenings or any celebration that calls for a touch of fruity elegance.

So, gather your ingredients, shake up this exquisite concoction, and toast to the joy of summer with every sip of this Strawberry Martini! Cheers!
