Raspberry Sorbet-tini


Do you remember that raspberry infused vodka I made a few weeks back?  If not click HERE.  Homemade flavored vodkas are so much better than the ones you can purchase.  Just look at that bright red color, it makes the prettiest cocktails.


I'm sort of a wimp when it comes to hard liquor.  So I very seldom have a martini.  I just don't like the taste of pure alcohol, but this drink is a whole different story. 

Raspberry Sorbet-tini

2.5 oz raspberry infused vodka
good quality raspberry sorbet

The vodka needs to be well chilled.  I keep mine in the freezer so it is ready at all times.  In a martini glass add a small scoop of slightly softened raspberry sorbet.  Pour the vodka over the sorbet and enjoy.

  32. Bo, I stepped away from your blog for a week and I see I missed some amazing things! This looks awesome! And I am with you as far as being a whimp to alcohol (specifically vodka) so I am going to give this a try. The avacado shake looks amazing too. Have you ever baked cookies with avacado. I had a recipe to replace it with butter and it totally failed. Curious if you ever heard of it or tried it. Keep the posts coming. Now you have me thinking martinis and what I really need to do is give my baby a bottle and go to bed!
