FAQ

What is in a Strawberry Martini?

Fresh strawberries, muddled, then vodka, sugar syrup, and two grinds of black pepper.

Can I make a Strawberry Martini without vodka?

Yes, but it becomes a strawberry mocktail rather than a Martini. Muddle the strawberries, shake them with the sugar syrup, black pepper, and ice, and fine-strain.
