Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Serves/Makes: 2
Difficulty: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
3 ounces blue colored raspberry vodka (recommend UV brand)
3 ounces Triple Sec
6 ounces lemonade (recommend Simply Lemonade)
4 drops blue food coloring
whipped cream
12 fresh raspberries
2 red stir sticks
Optional - Lee Greenwood's song "Proud to be an American"
Preparation:
In a cocktail shaker filled 2/3 with ice, add raspberry vodka, Triple Sec, lemonade and food coloring. Shake until very cold (at least 45 seconds).
Divide into 2 very chilled martini glasses and top with generous dollop of whipped cream. Drop six raspberries in each glass, making sure 1 or 2 stay on the whipped cream. Add a red stir stick and your Memorial Day, July 4th or Labor Day is off to a great start.
Cooks Notes: I was feeling particularly patriotic today (the Friday before Memorial Day) and remembered that I had a blue liquor somewhere. When I found it I was thrilled to find that it was raspberry flavored. I first added mango lemonade, but it turned it green. Tasted good, however, not so patriotic looking. So I went for the lemonade and a few drops of food coloring and Lee Greenwood's song "Proud to be an American" leaped out of the glass. Hope you have a safe, happy holiday.
Pour into chilled martini glasses.
