Ice Cubes
Equipment
Cocktail Shaker- Muddler
- Strainer

Instructions
- Start by adding the strawberries and basil leaves into your cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently mash them together, releasing the juices and oils.
- Pour in the vodka, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is well-chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. For an extra smooth texture, use a fine mesh strainer.
- Add a fresh basil leaf or a slice of strawberry to the rim of the glass for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Frozen strawberries can be used in a pinch, but they won’t provide the same taste.
