Instructions

1. Chill the martini glasses by putting them in the freezer. If you prefer, you can also rim them with sugar. To rim a glass for strawberry martinis, slice a very ripe strawberry and rub it around the rim of the martini glass. The rim of the glass should be barely coated with strawberry juice. Dip the glass in a bowl of sugar.

2. Put a few fresh strawberries in a shaker, and mash them with a wooden spoon.

3. Put some ice in the shaker and pour in the desired amount of strawberry vodka, a squirt of strawberry syrup and about a teaspoon of sugar, depending on the level of sweetness you prefer.

4. Shake the strawberry martini until it's well mixed, about 20 seconds.

5. Pour the strawberry martini into the prepared glasses, garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry, and serve.
