The Wimbledon Martini cocktail was created in London sometime during the 1990s when every cocktail served in a V-shaped glass was called a Martini. It takes some time getting through the fine strainer, but when you do it’s simply strawberries and cream with the faintest hint of alcohol. Wimbledon is all about strawberries and cream.
