Prepare the Glass:- Take a martini or cocktail glass and rub a lemon wedge around the rim. Dip the rim into sugar to coat it evenly. This adds the classic lemon drop sweetness with every sip.
Fill the Shaker:- Add a handful of ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Ice is important to properly chill and slightly dilute the drink for smooth flavor.
Add the Ingredients:- Pour the vodka, raspberry liqueur, and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the shaker over the ice.
Shake Well:- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the shaker feels cold to the touch. This helps blend the flavors perfectly.
Strain and Serve:- Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass, leaving the ice behind for a clean, smooth drink.
Garnish:- Garnish with fresh raspberries or a lemon twist for extra aroma and visual appeal.
Enjoy Immediately:- Serve chilled and enjoy this bright, fruity cocktail while it’s fresh and cold.
