What kind of vodka should I use for this cocktail?

To give these Raspberry Lemon Drop Martinis an extra pop of flavor, I used Pearl Red Berry Vodka. I’ve used in a few cocktails recipes in the past, and knew it would be perfect for this one too. It has such a bright and fruity flavor! You can use regular vodka in this as well, but if you have the opportunity to try Red Berry, or another berry-flavored vodka, I recommend it.

Raspberry Lemon Drop Recipe Tips

• After muddling the raspberries, press them through a mesh strainer to get the seeds out.
• Use a cocktail shaker to mix ingredients. Simple!
• I like garnishing each drink with a thinly-sliced lemon and a handful of raspberries.

Pairing Suggestions

Whether you’re serving these for happy hour or an afternoon treat, these pair perfectly with light appetizers. Serve this raspberry lemon martinis with Antipasto Skewers, Grape Jelly Meatballs, Spinach Artichoke Dip, or Bacon-wrapped Pineapple.

I just know you’ll love these Raspberry Lemon Drops as much I do. Pretty, delicious, and so fun. Enjoy!
