Equipment

First, grab a shaker, which will help blend the flavors together.
Next, use a jigger for precise measurements.
A strainer is essential to pour the cocktail smoothly into a glass.

Lastly, have a coupe glass ready to serve it in style!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 ounces vodka
1 ounce cream liqueur
1 ounce raspberry liqueur
1/2 ounce grenadine
Splash of club soda
Fresh raspberries for garnish

These simple ingredients come together to create a rich, velvety texture with a hint of fruitiness. Make sure everything is chilled before starting.

Instructions

First, fill the cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, cream liqueur, raspberry liqueur, and grenadine.
Shake well for about 10-15 seconds to mix everything.

Use the strainer to pour the mixture into your coupe glass.
Top it with a splash of club soda for a bit of fizz.
Garnish with fresh raspberries to add a touch of elegance. 🍷✨

It’s as simple as that! Stir lightly if needed and enjoy your homemade creation.

Notes

Making this cocktail is fun and easy! If you want a less sweet version, reduce the grenadine. You could add a twist of lemon for a zesty finish too!

Feel free to experiment with different liqueurs or even swap the vodka for gin for a unique twist. The club soda can also be flavored, like lemon-lime, for an added complexity. Don’t forget to share how yours turned out in the comments! 😊🍸

Aroma: A gentle fruity fragrance that reminds me of ripe strawberries. It invites you to take another sip.
Color: A deep red hue, resembling velvet. It’s visually stunning and perfect for Valentine’s Day. ❤️

When I take a sip, I feel the silky smoothness coat my tongue. The hints of citrus add a lively zing that keeps the drink refreshing and bright. It’s a sensory treat that’s hard to put down.
