Ingredients
For One Serving:
-
1 1/2 oz coconut rum (e.g., Malibu)
-
1 oz vodka (plain or vanilla-infused for extra depth)
-
1 oz raspberry liqueur (like Chambord) or 1 oz raspberry purée
-
1 oz coconut cream or cream of coconut (e.g., Coco Lopez)
-
1/2 oz fresh lime juice (optional, but brightens the profile beautifully)
-
Ice
-
Garnish options:
-
Fresh raspberry on a cocktail pick
-
Toasted or raw coconut flakes
-
Raspberry sugar rim (colored sugar mixed with crushed freeze-dried raspberries)
-
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
-
Chill a martini glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes.
-
If using a sugar rim, moisten the edge of the glass with a lime wedge, then dip it in your raspberry sugar mixture for a colorful, textured touch.
Step 2: Mix the Martini
-
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill the ingredients thoroughly.
-
Add:
-
1 ½ oz coconut rum
-
1 oz vodka
-
1 oz raspberry liqueur or purée
-
1 oz coconut cream
-
½ oz lime juice (if using)
-
-
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. The goal is to blend the cream smoothly while chilling the drink to perfection.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
-
Double strain into your chilled martini glass using a fine-mesh strainer. This ensures a silky-smooth pour, especially if using raspberry purée.
Step 4: Garnish
-
Garnish with a fresh raspberry perched on the rim or a cocktail pick.
-
For a tropical twist, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes lightly on top.
-
Want something extra? Float a small heart of raspberry syrup in the center for a romantic touch.
Notes
The Raspberry Coconut Martini offers a flavor journey with each sip. It starts with the creamy coconut that coats the palate, followed by the tangy pop of raspberry, and finishes with a subtle citrusy zing from lime. The balance of sweet and tart makes it both comforting and refreshing. The texture is rich, almost like a spiked berry smoothie, but with the elegance of a martini.
