Strawberry Valentine Martinis

These martinis are the perfect color and flavor for Valentine's Day. I used Fragolino Wild Strawberry liqueur, which has tiny wild strawberries in the bottle. Divine Vodka, made in Michigan from Michigan grapes, has a slightly sweet finish that works very well for this use.
