Raspberry Mint Martini
A fruity, fresh martini with muddled raspberries and mint, vodka, dry vermouth, and raspberry syrup.
Ingredients
- 6 fresh raspberries
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 2 oz vodka
- 0.5 oz dry vermouth
- 0.5 oz raspberry simple syrup
- 1/3 oz fresh lemon juice
- Ice
- Fresh raspberries and a mint sprig to garnish
Instructions
- Fill a martini glass with ice.
- In a cocktail shaker combine mint leaves, lemon juice, vodka and raspberry syrup. Use a stirrer to muddle the mint leaves in the mixture.
- Add in a handful of ice and put the lid on the cocktail shaker. Stir the mixture vigorously for around 10 seconds with a stirrer.
- Tip the ice out of the martini glass. Strain the drink into the chilled martini glass.
- Garnish the glass with fresh raspberries speared on a toothpick and a spring of fresh mint.
Notes
Raspberry Syrup: To make the raspberry syrup: combine 1½ cups raspberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and 1½ tsp lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer 10 minutes, strain well through a fine sieve to remove seeds, and cool completely. Full recipe at raspberry simple syrup.
- Double strain through a fine mesh sieve to catch raspberry seeds and mint pieces for a clean drink.
- Swap the vodka for gin for a different but equally good version.
- Make the raspberry syrup ahead so it's completely cool before using.
