Strawberry Martini

• 1 -2 teaspoon sugar, to taste
• 3 strawberries
• 1 1/2 teaspoons strawberry syrup (Hersheys)
• 4 ounces stoli strasberri vodka
• Optional
• sugar, for the rim
• 1 strawberry, for garnish

1. Prep martini glasses by either putting them in the freezer to frost or rimming them with sugar.
2. To rim a glass with sugar slice a very ripe, or over ripe strawberry 1/2 way through and gently wipe it around the edges of the glass so the juice just barely coats it.
3. Now turn it upside down into a shallow dish filled with sugar.
4. In a shaker put clean, hulled strawberries in bottom and mash with a wooden spoon until they are very well smashed.
5. Add fresh Ice to fill the shaker and add the vodka, strawberry syrup and about 1 tsp sugar or more depending on your sweet tooth.
6. Shake for about 20 seconds until well mixed.
7. Now pour into the prepped glasses, garnish and serve!
