By Christopher Godwin, eHow Contributor

A strawberry-kiwi martini is a simple, easy-to-make cocktail that is unique and refreshing. Versatile in nature, you can serve strawberry-kiwi martinis during an elegant dinner party or at a casual cocktail party. Though typically made with fresh fruit, you can substitute frozen fruit if you let it thaw and squeeze some of the excess water content out. This recipe makes two strawberry-kiwi martinis, though it is easily doubled for larger groups and events.
