Main Ingredients
  • 2 oz Citron Vodka 60ml

  • 0.75 oz Simple Syrup 22ml
  • 5-6 whole Fresh Raspberries plus more for garnish

  • 1 Cocktail shaker
  • 1 Martini Glass
  • 1 Muddler
  • 1 Wooden Cocktail Pick

Preparation
  1. Moisten the rim of a martini glass with a lemon wedge. Dip into granulated sugar to create a thick, even crust.
  2. In a shaker, muddle the fresh raspberries with simple syrup until juices are released.
  3. Add Citron vodka, lemon juice, and ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until a light froth forms.
  4. Strain into the sugar-rimmed glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a wooden skewer of two raspberries.

Notes

Use fresh raspberries for the best pink color.
Don't double strain if you want visible fruit pulp particles.
