Today I am sharing a fun girl’s night martini that can be made all year round.  This particular drink would also be good as a party drink because it can be made in batches.  The main two steps to make this drink are muddling the strawberries and making the jalapeno simple syrup.  I rimmed the glass with sugar to give this drink a little more sweetness.  I love making drinks with strawberries because the color is so beautiful! Do you need something strong this week? Don’t fear vodka, strawberry, and jalapeno is your best friend! Cheers!
