Method
Preparation

Infusing the Vodka
To create strawberry-infused vodka, combine 1 cup of vodka with 1 cup of sliced fresh strawberries in a sealed jar. Let it sit in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days, shaking it gently every day. Strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle and discard the strawberries.

Chill the Glass
If serving the martini up, chill your martini glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. If serving on the rocks, skip this step.

Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, add the strawberry infused vodka, fresh lemon juice, and lemonade. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

Serve
If serving up, empty the ice water from the chilled martini glass and strain the mixture into the glass. If serving on the rocks, fill a rocks glass with ice cubes and pour the cocktail mixture over the ice.
