Fresh summer strawberries, lemon vodka and heavy cream make this luscious strawberry martini one to remember! Think your favorite lemon drop martini bursting with strawberry flavor and a touch of strawberry shortcake dessert. This is a new girl's night classic and a summer cookout staple! Make sure to choose a good quality lemon vodka for the best flavor. I like Svedka for a nice balance of tart-sweet lemon vodka.

To rim glass with sugar, rub a wedge of lemon over the top of the glass rim. Immediately dip the glass into sparkling sugar.
Put all ingredients except whipping cream into a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to mash the berries into the drink.
Add ice and shake to chill.
Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass.
Drizzle the heavy whipping cream into the glass in a circular fashion. Tip: If you have a kid’s Tylenol syringe around it is perfect for drizzling the cream in!
Garnish with lemon and fresh strawberries
Notes
Sparkling sugar is most often found in the cake decorating section or at a craft store. It makes a lovely glass rim for the drink.
