Raspberry Vodka Daiquiri Cocktail
A refreshingly fruity daiquiri that blends ripe raspberries with crisp vodka, bright lime, and a touch of simple syrup—easy to shake and silky when fine‑strained.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Mixing glass
- Blender
- Fine sieve or strainer
- Measuring jigger
- Bar spoon
- Martini or coupe glass
- Citrus juicer
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka smooth, neutral style
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 0.75 oz simple syrup 1:1 sugar and water
- 6-8 raspberries fresh or thawed frozen
- ice cubes for shaking (and blending for frozen)
- lime twist or wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a martini or coupe glass in the freezer.
- Add raspberries and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker and muddle gently to release juices.
- Add vodka and fresh lime juice, then fill the shaker halfway with ice.
- Shake hard for about 15 seconds until icy cold. Fine‑strain into the chilled glass to remove seeds.
- Garnish with a lime twist or wedge and serve immediately.
- Frozen option: Blend all ingredients with 1 cup of ice until smooth, then pour into a chilled glass.
Notes
Taste and adjust sweetness depending on the raspberries. Fine‑straining yields a silky texture without seeds. A dash of orange liqueur or raspberry syrup is a tasty variation.
