• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) citrus-flavored vodka
• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) raspberry-flavored vodka
• 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) Chambord
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Simple Syrup
• 2 tablespoons cranberry juice
• Raspberries, for garnish

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add vodkas, Chambord, lime juice, simple syrup, and cranberry juice. Shake or stir until well chilled. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with raspberries; serve.  Repeat as needed.

As Valentine’s Day approaches (and I can drink again) I figured a new cocktail recipe was in order.  Something red and sexy.  Raspberries and booze? Yes, please!

This arrived in my inbox this morning via Cocktail Times. It looks so simple and refreshing… and pink!  I want one right now. I think it totally qualifies as a brunch cocktail, no?
