Raspberry Martini is prepared with vodka, Chambord, crushed raspberries, and fresh lemon juice. It’s smooth, tart, and sweet all at the same time.

Valentine’s Day is coming up quick, and we decided to give one of our older cocktail recipes a facelift. Our Chambord Citrus Tonic was originally written with Valentine’s Day in mind, but we decided to switch it up to a raspberry martini with Chambord instead.

We have tons of Fall holiday cocktails like our White Christmas Margarita, Apple Cider Mimosas, and Pecan Pie Martini to name a few. However, our only other Valentine’s type drinks are this Double Chocolate Martini and this Champagne Grenadine Spritzer.

We definitely wanted to keep this cocktail Valentine’s Day themed. This raspberry martini is full of raspberry and lemon flavors.

It has a vodka base with the sweet flavor of fresh raspberries and Chambord liqueur with a touch of tartness from freshly squeezed lemon juice.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Absolutely! Swap out the vodka with a good quality gin, and the martini will be amazing! Here’s a raspberry martini recipe that uses gin and dry vermouth in place of the vodka.

No, the Chambord is an ingredient we decided to use for this recipe, because we love the flavor. Not to mention, it paired well with the other ingredients.

Some other options are raspberry syrup, raspberry simple syrup, or leave out extra raspberry flavor all together. Here’s a recipe for Raspberry Martini with Simple Syrup and Lime that doesn’t have any added raspberry liqueur or raspberry syrup flavors.

Yes, but we recommend that you don’t. It really changes the flavor and quality of the drink. In this case fresh is best.

We prefer a mid to top shelf vodka for the best flavor and quality. For this recipe, we used a plain, mid-shelf vodka. However, raspberry or citrus flavored vodka would’ve worked well.
