Strawberry Basil Martinis

5 Fresh Strawberries

2 Basil Leaves

1 oz vodka

2 tsp sugar

muddle the strawberries, 1 basil leaf and sugar in the bottom of a shaker.  Allow to sit for at least five minutes so that the strawberries release their juices.  Add vodka and ice and shake.  Pour into a martini glass and garnish with the remaining basil leaf.

Recipe notes: Basil and strawberries may seem like an unusual combination, but it is actually quite delicious.  The basil imparts a fresh, yet subtle flavor.
