- Ice
- Chocolate Syrup

How do you Make a Strawberry Martini?
We begin our Strawberry Chocolate Martini by making a Strawberry Simple Syrup. Simply combine Naturipe® Strawberries, sugar and water in a sauce pan. Heat for two minutes until mixture thickens. Strain or Remove the strawberries and place in a jar for later use.
Once the simple syrup is cool, you can begin to make our version of the Strawberry Chocolate Martini!
First, prepare your martini glasses by dipping your glass into chocolate syrup. This will allow the sprinkles to stick to the rim in the next step. If you don’t want the added chocolate on the rim, you can dip the rim in water.
Next, dip your glass red sprinkles.
TIP: You want a light coating of chocolate syrup. Too much syrup and it will begin to run down your glass!
Now swirl a light coating of chocolate syrup to the inside of the glass. Again, if you don’t want the added sugar or chocolate, you can skip this step, but, it makes for a pretty looking glass!
Simply place Naturipe® Strawberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Muddle the strawberries.
Next, add in the vodka, simple syrup and half and half along with crushed ice.
Shake the cocktail shaker (make sure you put the top on) until the shaker begins to chill.
Pour into your martini glass, garnish with a strawberry and enjoy!
