Strawberry Shortcake Martini

The Strawberry Shortcake Martini is made with cake flavored vodka, Bailey’s Strawberries and Cream and a homemade fresh strawberry simple syrup. 

You may have seen those outrageous Frozen Strawberry Mudslides on the site a couple weeks back made with Baileys Strawberries and Cream! The stuff was just too good not to share another super tasty strawberry recipe right away. And yes, you should expect a few more in the future.

Strawberry Shortcake Martini

Strawberry Shortcake Martini really does taste like a delicious strawberry shortcake dessert in liquid form with a little kick of alcohol added. Dessert that will get you buzzed! I am so on board with this one. You will taste the sweet strawberry and burst of cake notes in each sip. The cocktail goes down easy, yet is still strong and packed full of flavor. Not to mention, the drink is a beautiful pink hue so you can serve it for a friends 21+ birthday or to celebrate a holiday like Valentine’s Day or even Mother’s Day. 

What You Need

• Pinnacle Vodka Cake Flavored
• Baileys Strawberries and Cream
• Strawberry Simple Simple. Homemade is super easy! You just need : fresh strawberries, water and sugar with a saucepan, whisk, mesh strainer and jar.

Process

Martinis are great to make! They are strong little drinks that only need a few ingredients that you add to a cocktail shaker with ice and pour into a glass to enjoy. 

1. Place ice into a cocktail shaker. 
2. Add equal parts vodka and Baileys. 
3. Add in a splash of strawberry simple syrup. 
4. Shake it up. 
5. Pour into a martini glass. 
6. Add a fresh strawberry on the rim for cute garnish. 

Tip

No cocktail shaker? Use a protein shake blender bottle! That’s how I roll. Protein shake in the morning, martini at night. 

Strawberry Simple Syrup

You don’t HAVE to make the strawberry simple syrup yourself. You can buy at the grocery. However, making a fresh syrup with fresh strawberries just tastes… well, fresh. Plus, it is crazy easy to make. 

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces strawberries, diced (1 & 1/2 cups)
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. Wash and dice strawberries. 
2. Place diced strawberries in a small saucepan with the sugar and water. 
3. Bring to a low boil.
4. Lower to a simmer for 20 minutes, whisking from time to time. 
5. Use a mesh strainer to pour sauce into a container. Don’t squish the strawberries down or anything in this step. Just pour and let it strain. 
6. Cool and store in fridge. 

Tip

The strawberry simple syrup can be used for all sorts of foodie creations. Strawberry lemonade, cocktails, desserts like strawberry shortcake or poured over ice cream or sweeten up breakfast with some strawberry simple syrup drizzled over pancakes.
