  • sparkling water (club soda, soda water, seltzer)

Instructions

  • Optional: Prepare cocktail glasses. Dip each rim in grenadine or raspberry liqueur, then dip into a shallow bowl or plate filled with sugar. Set aside.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and add raspberry liqueur, vodka, and grenadine. Shake well for 30 to 60 seconds. Strain into a glass and top with sparkling water, fresh berries, and rosemary.

Notes

  • All occasions: This red cocktail works well for many holidays and special celebrations. Garnish it to match the occasion. For Thanksgiving or Christmas, a rosemary garnish is perfect. For Halloween, add a spooky garnish like a plastic spider. For Valentine's Day, garnish with hearts, a simple ribbon tied around the stem of the glass, etc.
  • Don't have a cocktail shaker? Put the ingredients into a jar with a lid (such as a Mason jar), shake vigorously, and strain the contents through a fine strainer into a glass.
  • Make it N/A. Use a non-alcoholic vodka and raspberry syrup instead of raspberry liqueur.
  • Nutrition note: The information below does not include optional sugar rim, berries, or garnishes. Sparkling water does not contain sugar and has zero calories.
