Ingredients:
- 1 oz raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord or crème de framboise)
- 1 oz white chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur)
- 1 oz vodka (preferably high-quality, smooth vodka)
- 1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
- Ice (enough to fill a cocktail shaker halfway)
- Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh raspberries
- White chocolate shavings
- White chocolate syrup or sugar for rimming
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Glass
- Place a martini glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to chill. A cold glass enhances the drinking experience and keeps your cocktail perfectly chilled.
- (Optional) For an extra decorative touch, rim the martini glass with sugar or white chocolate shavings:
- Spread a thin layer of white chocolate syrup (or simple syrup) on a small plate.
- Dip the rim of the chilled martini glass into the syrup.
- Roll the rim in finely grated white chocolate shavings or sugar.
Step 2: Mix the Drink
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. The ice will chill and slightly dilute the ingredients, creating a perfectly balanced cocktail.
- Pour in:
- 1 oz raspberry liqueur
- 1 oz white chocolate liqueur
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter texture)
- Secure the shaker lid tightly. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to thoroughly mix the ingredients and create a smooth, frothy texture.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
- Using a cocktail strainer, pour the shaken mixture into the chilled martini glass.
- The drink should have a creamy pale pink hue with a slight frothy top from the shaking process.
Step 4: Garnish the Martini
- Drop a few fresh raspberries onto the surface of the drink for a beautiful pop of color.
- Sprinkle white chocolate shavings over the top for a luxurious finish.
- (Optional) Add a white chocolate curl or drizzle melted white chocolate over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
Step 5: Enjoy!
