Here it is! As promised, and served at my recent Dinner Party. These drinks are yummy, but first I must tell you:
Here is what you will need:
A martini shaker
Ice (preferably crushed)
Raspberry Vodka
Razz-ma-tazz or other raspberry liquor
Sour Mix (not “sweet & sour” mix)
Squeeze of fresh lemon
Ice cold Martini glasses (I recommend storing them in your freezer)
My bartender of a husband uses a ratio of 1:1:1 which makes for a very strong drink. I make them with extra sour mix and sometimes add some lemonade or other juice to “lighten” them. But you basically fill your shaker about halfway up with crushed ice, then add equal amounts (use a measuring cup or other pouring device like a shot glass) of the vodka, raspberry liquor and the sour mix. Shake well. (Bartender husband advice: shake really well– till your hand is too cold to shake any longer!). Then, using the strainer that comes with your martini shaker, strain the drink into a cold martini glass. ENJOY!
The color is festive for the holidays too, isn’t it? These are delicious all year round!
