Raspberry Martini
Here’s a sweet raspberry co*cktail with a vibrant color: theRaspberry Martini! This drink is stunningandfull of bright berry flavor. The sweet tart, lightly floral flavor of raspberry is beautifully pure, thanks to homemaderaspberry syrup. It’s on the sweeter side, but the zing of fresh lemon balances it perfectly.
Ingredients: Vodka, cranberry juice, lemon, raspberry syrup
Raspberry Mojito
The Mojito is minty, bubbly, and refreshing: and pretty darnperfect. In fact, it’s one of our favoriteclassic co*cktails, which is saying something since we’ve triedover 300 co*cktails to date. So why not try a fruity spin for as a variation? Introducing…theRaspberry Mojito! Sweet berries pair perfectly with refreshing mint, and top it off bubbly soda water. It’s sweet tart and minty, with a delicate bubbly texture.

Raspberry Lime Rickey
Here’s a bubbly, refreshing drink that’s great for entertaining…or anytime you need a treat. Try theRaspberry Lime Rickey! It’s one in a family of co*cktails called the rickey, a highball drink with soda water and lime juice. It was first invented with gin, but it’s also become a popular mocktail because the flavors work so well together. The berry plus lime formula has the perfect sweet tart flavor and bubbly texture.

Floradora
Here’s a light, bubbly raspberry co*cktail that’s flown under the radar for too long: theFloradora! This beautifully pink drink was inspired by a Broadway show by the same name and dates back to the early 1900’s. It’s a total gem of a drink, though it’s relatively undiscovered. With its sweet name and delicious sweet tart flavor, we think it’s time for another spot in the limelight!
Ingredients: Gin, raspberry syrup(orChambord), lime juice, ginger beer
Clover Club co*cktail
Here’s a sophisticatedraspberry co*cktailthat steals the show: theClover Club! This brightpink drinkstems back before Prohibition, but it’s just as en vogue today. Sweet raspberry syrup (or grenadine) combine with zingy lemon and gin to make a perfectly balanced sweet tart drink. The best part: a classic egg white foam gives a creamy body and frothy texture to each sip! This one’s a unique gin co*cktail that’s just plainfun.

Raspberry Vodka Smash

Spiked Raspberry Lemonade

French Martini
Here's a raspberry co*cktail using Chambord: the French Martini! This martini is hardly related to the classicdry martiniat all. It’s a fruity and balanced, featuring a fancy French black raspberry liqueur and pineapple juice. Each sip is so intriguing and nuanced, it’s hard to put the glass down!

Simply mix the raspberry liqueur with bubbles and you’ve got a sophisticated raspberry co*cktail perfect for celebrations of all kinds.
