Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces (1/4 cup) vodka
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) 100% cranberry juice (not sweetened**)
  • 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 ounce (1 1/2 tablespoons) raspberry syrup (homemade is best, or use purchased)
  • For the garnish: fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake 15 seconds until cold.
  2. Strain the drink into a cocktail or martini glass. Garnish with raspberries and serve. 

Notes

Raspberry syrup: If all you can find is sweetened cranberry juice or cranberry juice cocktail, use 1/2 ounce raspberry syrup, then add more to taste. 

Storage notes: The raspberry syrup stores in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. For parties, you can pre-measure the vodka, cranberry juice, lemon juice, and raspberry syrup in a large batch. When guests arrive, just shake up 4 oz portions with ice!
