- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh strawberries to release their juice.
- Add the vodka and simple syrup to the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.
- Strain into the prepared glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Top with sparkling wine and stir gently.
- Garnish with a fresh strawberry or strawberry slice if desired.
Notes
- For best results, chill your martini glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- You can prepare the simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Don't over-muddle the strawberries; you want to release the juice without pulverizing them.
- Champagne can be substituted for sparkling wine for a more luxurious drink.
