FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
I personally like to use Chambord for this recipe but you can use any of your favorite raspberry liqueur that you’d like.
This makes 1 cocktail but obviously you can easily make as many as you like using this base recipe.
If you want to prepare this ahead of time I suggest that you mix together the vodka, raspberry liqueur and cranberry juice, and then when ready to assemble the drinks, place into the shaker with ice and then continue with the directions. I think guests really enjoy seeing the preparation of this drink.
I like to drizzle the red decorating gel inside of the glass that way it will still stay in place when the cocktail is added. It’s sort of like drizzling chocolate sauce or caramel sauce in specialty coffee drinks. It doesn’t need to be perfect and you can use as much or as little as you like.
Yes! You can rim this with the decorating gel then dip in red sanding sugar or you can dip the glass in water and then rim with just the red sanding sugar.
Absolutely, you can use a raspberry flavored vodka to enhance the raspberry flavor. If you want some added sweetness, you can use a cranberry fruit cocktail instead of straight cranberry juice.
No, if you aren’t a fan of champagne, you can substitute it with Prosecco or your favorite sparkling wine.
These are best served once they are made. As noted above you can mix together the vodka, raspberry liqueur and cranberry juice ahead of time and then when ready to serve pour into cocktail shaker with ice and finish assembling your drink.
