Ingredients
Scale
- Raspberry Simple Syrup:
- 1/3 cup raspberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- Raspberry Martini:
- 1 1/2 oz vodka
- 1 ½ oz raspberry simple syrup*
- 1 ½ oz lemon juice
- handful of ice
Instructions
- First make the raspberry simple syrup: Heat the raspberries, sugar and water on a saucepan over medium to high heat, stirring occasionally. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not boil. Continue to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes as the sugar dissolves. Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, pass it through a fine mesh strainer.
- Next, make the raspberry martini: Add the vodka, raspberry simple syrup, lemon juice and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for a few seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosted. Pour into a martini glass and serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly!
Notes
- *If you don’t want to make your own raspberry simple syrup, you can use a store bought one. Make sure you buy one that is meant for mixing into drinks.
- After making your syrup, save the strained raspberry pieces and use them to mix into yogurt for a healthy breakfast.
