Raspberry Martini
This sweet raspberry martini is perfect for Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s, or whenever you’re craving a bright and fruity drink to sip on. The fresh raspberries and lemon juice are a winning combination on their own, but when you add cranberry juice and chilled vodka to the mix - get ready to have an unforgettable night.
Servings 1 martini
Ingredients
- 5 fresh raspberries
- ½ lemon juiced
- ½ oz agave simple syrup or grenadine
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- 2 oz gin or vodka
Instructions
- Add raspberries and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Muddle together until the raspberries are smashed and have released their juices.

Notes
Simple Syrup: You can make your own raspberry simple syrup for more berry flavor! Just heat a pot with sugar, water, and raspberries - stirring until done. Strain and allow it to cool before adding it to your martini.
Garnish: Skewer fresh raspberries on a toothpick for garnish. Also add lemon slices, if desired.
