Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Purée
  1. Add fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. For an ultra-silky texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  4. Set aside.
  5. This makes your drink naturally sweet, fresh, and vibrant pink.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Chocolate Base
  1. In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt.
  2. Whisk until smooth and velvety.
  3. Taste — add more chocolate for richness or more vanilla for sweetness.
  4. The salt enhances the chocolate flavor just like in gourmet chocolate desserts.
Step 3: Combine Both Mixtures
  1. Pour the strawberry purée into the blender.
  2. Add the creamy chocolate mixture.
  3. Blend until smooth, creamy, and beautifully pink.
  4. For a chilled, thicker martini, add ½ cup of ice and blend again.
  5. The consistency should be silky, luxurious, and slightly thick — like a drinkable chocolate strawberry dessert.
Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Martini Glass Rim
  1. Melt a small amount of chocolate in the microwave (10–15 seconds).
  2. Dip or drizzle around the rim of each martini glass.
  3. For a dramatic effect, let the chocolate drip down the sides.
  4. Refrigerate glasses for 5 minutes until set.
  5. This makes each glass look Instagram-ready.
Step 5: Pour and Garnish
  1. Pour the chocolate-covered strawberry martini into your prepared glasses.
  2. Garnish with:
  3. A chocolate-dipped strawberry
  4. Fresh strawberry slice on the rim
  5. Chocolate shavings
  6. A swirl of whipped cream (optional)
  7. Serve immediately for the best flavor and romantic presentation.
