  • Ice cubes

Equipment

  • Martini Glass
  • Shaker
  • Strainer & Fine-strainer
  • Measuring Jigger

Instructions

  • Prep Glass: Chill your martini glass with some ice cubes.
  • Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze and pour 1 oz fresh lemon juice into the shaker.
  • Add Raspberry Liqueur: Measure and add 1 oz Raspberry Liqueur.
  • Add Vodka: Pour 2 oz Vodka into the shaker.

  • Strain and Serve: Fine strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.

Notes

Substitutes:

  • Vodka: If you don't have vodka, I've used gin for a more botanical twist or white rum for a sweeter profile.
  • Raspberry Liqueur: Blackberry liqueur works well as an alternative, or you can use raspberry syrup as a non-alcoholic option.
  • Lemon Juice: Lime juice can be substituted with a slightly different citrus note.

Making a Pitcher of Raspberry Martini:

  • Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 16 oz of vodka, 8 oz of raspberry liqueur, and 4 oz of fresh lemon juice.
  • Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the vodka, raspberry liqueur, and lemon juice with ice. Stir well.
  • Serve: Strain the mixture into chilled martini glasses, garnish with fresh raspberries, and serve immediately.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • Vodka Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic spirit that mimics vodka's neutral flavor.
  • Raspberry Liqueur Substitute: Opt for raspberry syrup or puree to maintain the fruity essence without alcohol.
  • Proceed As Usual: Follow the original steps using these substitutes to enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
