For an extra touch of elegance, rim the glass with sugar before pouring in the cocktail. If you don't have a cocktail muddler, the back of a spoon works in a pinch. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the strawberries. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the gin with sparkling water or tonic water. Experiment with different types of gin to find your favorite flavor profile.
