💭 What is Raspberry Vodka?
This raspberry vodka is a plain vodka that has been infused with the flavor and beautiful color of raspberries!
A number of commercially available brands of raspberry vodka exist, including: Absolut, Cîroc, Smirnoff, Stolichnaya (aka Stoli), Three Olives, Svedka, and New Amsterdam. This isn't necessarily an exhaustive list; just what I could find during a quick Google search. This vodka also isn't to be confused with raspberry liqueur, like Chambord. That's an entirely different beast.
What my raspberry vodka has these store bought vodkas don't have is a gorgeous red color and super fresh flavor.

👩🏻🍳 How to make Raspberry Vodka
⚒️ How to use Raspberry Vodka
You can use this raspberry vodka in any cocktail that you can dream up! Try it in my Raspberry Martini, for starters. A Raspberry Vodka Soda is another great option. Or maybe a Raspberry Lemon Drop Martini?
❓ Recipe FAQs
Yes! You can use either frozen or fresh raspberries, according to your preference/what you have on hand.
Let them infuse into the vodka for 3-5 days. Stop when it looks and tastes to your liking.
It should keep just fine at room temperature for about 6 weeks and in the fridge for about 3 months.
Ultimately, use whatever you prefer. I'd advise you to use something that's good but not great. Think: Smirnoff, not Belvedere.
