Shake up your cocktail game with this refreshing Muddled Raspberry Pomegranate Martini – it’s fruity, vibrant, and perfect for any occasion.
If there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s a delightful cocktail that fills a warm weather kinda mood; like this Muddled Raspberry Pomegranate Martini. Naturally sweet notes from fresh raspberries and a splash of pomegranate juice, pressed with the back of a wooden spoon with just a few basil leaves, creates such a delicious drink.
I prefer shaken, not stirred, with a good vodka and lots of ice, and then strained into coupe glasses, and topped with a skewer of berries and basil flowers. The fruity flavors are refreshing and so delightful after a busy day.
There is nothing more gorgeous or tasty when the sun is setting and the heat begins to disappear. I like to chill the glasses ahead of time, so everything stays extra cold during summertime. Enjoy!
