Instructions

1. Place a martini glass in the freezer to chill. Put a cup of ice in a large cocktail shaker.

2. Add two ounces of any raspberry-flavored vodka to the shaker. Many brands make a raspberry vodka, including Stolichnaya and Absolut.

3. Add one ounce of cranberry juice and a half-ounce of lime juice to the cocktail shaker. Fresh lime juice will taste the best, but bottled lime juice is also acceptable.

4. Add half an ounce of triple sec as well. Replace the top on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until the ingredients are mixed.

5. Remove your martini glass from the freezer and place a cocktail strainer over the mouth of the shaker. Slowly pour the cocktail into the glass, taking care to catch the ice with the strainer.

6. Garnish with two or three fresh raspberries. Make sure your raspberries are clean and add them right into the drink.
