Description

A romantic Valentine’s Day raspberry martini — pink, smooth, and lightly infused with mint for a refreshing finish.


Ingredients

Scale

2 oz vodka

1 oz Chambord (raspberry liqueur)

1 oz cranberry juice

½ oz lime juice

4 fresh raspberries

2 fresh mint leaves

Ice cubes


Instructions

1. Chill martini glasses for 5 minutes.

2. In a shaker, muddle raspberries and mint gently to release flavor.

3. Add vodka, Chambord, cranberry juice, lime juice, and ice.

4. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until well chilled.

Notes

For a sparkling variation, top with prosecco. Swap Chambord for strawberry liqueur to change the flavor profile.
