Ingredients
60 ml 2 fl oz vodka
30 ml 1 fl oz raspberry liqueur (Chambord or similar)
22.5 ml 3/4 fl oz fresh lemon juice
15 ml 1/4 fl oz triple sec
Ice cubes
3 3 fresh raspberries (for garnish)
Sugar (for rim, optional)
Lemon wheel (for garnish)
Equipment
Cocktail Shaker
Hawthorne strainer
Jigger
Coupe glass
Instructions
- Chill your martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before making the cocktail. A cold glass keeps the drink crisp.
- If you want a sugar rim, run a lemon wedge around the rim of your chilled glass and dip it into a shallow dish of sugar. Set aside.
- Fill your cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the vodka, raspberry liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and triple sec.
- Shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and slightly frosted. This properly chills and dilutes the cocktail.
- Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass using a Hawthorne strainer. The drink should have a beautiful pink hue.
- Drop 2 to 3 fresh raspberries into the glass and place a lemon wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
