Raspberry Martini:

2 Oz Absolut Raspberry Vodka, ½ to 1 Oz Cointreau or Grand Mariner (for a stronger flavor), Splash of Roses Lime Juice or Squeeze of fresh lime juice; Shake vigorously; When I know I’m going to make these I buy fresh raspberries and put them on fancy toothpicks…3 or 4 to a pick. Run toothpick skewer under water and then roll in sugar and put in freezer. I use these as a garnish along with a thin twist of lime hooked to the glass.
