This raspberry lemon drop martini is similar to a standard lemon drop (which is, without a doubt my go-to drink on hot summer days!), but it's made with muddled fresh raspberries. I was inspired to create this recipe when my kids threw fresh home-grown raspberries into their lemonade. Tart, sweet, and refreshing, this cocktail is a winner.
Ingredients
- 10 freshs raspberries , or more to taste, divided
- 2 fluids ounces lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 2 fluids ounces vodka
- 1 cup ice , or as needed
- 1 wedge lemon
Instructions

1
Place 8 raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar into a cocktail shaker; mash well with a cocktail muddler. Add vodka and ice. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled martini glass; garnish with a lemon wedge and remaining 2 raspberries.
