Strawberry Martini
Description
This Strawberry Martini combines frozen strawberries, vodka or strawberry-flavored gin, simple syrup, and dry vermouth or bitters blended until smooth. The use of frozen strawberries provides a fresh berry flavor along with a chilled texture. The cocktail is served in coupe glasses rimmed with honey and cane sugar, adding a sweet, slightly crunchy contrast to the smooth drink.
Before pouring, the glasses are dipped in honey and sugar to create a flavorful rim that complements the berry notes and enhances the sip. Fresh strawberries adorn the cocktail for visual appeal and a burst of fresh fruitiness.
Chilling the martini glasses in advance ensures the drink remains cool longer and adds a frosty touch. Alternative preparation includes using homemade strawberry simple syrup for a smoother texture and a different balance of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 5 oz vodka or gin, strawberry flavor
- 1.5 oz simple syrup more to taste
- 0.5 oz dry vermouth or flavored bitters
- 1 cup strawberry frozen
- 2 strawberry for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Add frozen strawberries, vodka, simple syrup and bitters to a food processor/blender.
- Pulse until smooth.
- Take a flat plate and drizzle honey on it in a circle. Try to match the size/shape of the coupe glass rim. On another plate, spread the cane sugar.
- Dip each coupe glass into the honey, ensuring the rim is coated and sticky, and then dip it into the sugar.
- Pour the Strawberry Martini into rimmed coupe glasses and enjoy!
Notes
- Chill martini glasses in the fridge or freezer 30 minutes before serving for a frosty presentation.
- For a smoother drink, prepare homemade strawberry simple syrup by heating equal parts water and sugar with fresh strawberries, then strain and cool before use.
