10 Drinks to Make with raspberry vodka

WRITTEN BY: SCOTT VAN DORT

Got a bottle of Absolut Raspberri and wondering what cocktails or drinks to create with it? If it’s drink-spiration you’re after, you’ve come to the right place.

Absolut Raspberri is an extremely versatile Vodka with the taste of Raspberry, and a wonderful balance of sweet and tart. Imagine sweet mashed Wild Raspberries combined with a complex blend of Sweet Berries. Nuances of Vanilla add both a deliciousness and a creamy mouthfeel, which perfectly complement the tartness of Raspberry. 

Here are 10 of our favorite cocktail recipes featuring Absolut Raspberri to get you started.

1.  Absolut Raspberri Collins
There are many variations of the Tom Collins, but in the words of Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador, “This is a certified winner. Everyone loves raspberries, everyone loves a Collins.”  He’s right.

The Absolut Raspberri Collins blends our Raspberry-Flavored Vodka with fresh Lemon Juice—sure, it sounds pretty tart – and is then perfectly balanced with Simple Syrup and given a sparkling touch with Soda Water. 

Garnish it with Lemon Zest and a few fresh Raspberries, and you’ve got a drink that’s simply delicious. Summertime, here we come! Discover our recipe for the Absolut Raspberri Collins.

2. Absolut Raspberri Passion Star Martini
The Passion Star Martini (aka Pornstar Martini) is one of the most loved cocktails around, a modern classic that’s bursting with flavors of tart Passion Fruit and sweet Vanilla and Pineapple. 

This Passion Star Martini variation, however, follows the recipe for a Pornstar Martini but swaps Vanilla-Flavored Vodka for Absolut Raspberri for a uniquely delicious berry twist.

Accompanied by a shot of Champagne (or Prosecco) on the side, the Absolut Raspberri Passion Star Martini is a must for your next gathering. Check out our recipe for a Passion Star Martini with Absolut Raspberri.

3. Raspiroska
Why complicate things when something so simple can be this good? 

No shakers, no blenders needed—the Raspiroska is an easy-to-make drink that’s built in a Rocks Glass. Mix Absolut Raspberri, Simple Syrup, Crushed Ice, and fresh muddled Raspberries.

Pro tip from Hedda Bruce, Award-Winning Bartender and Bar Manager at Tjoget in Stockholm, Sweden: Before adding Crushed Ice, always taste your mix when using fresh fruits, as their flavor can vary depending on the season and region. You might need to adjust with a bit more citrus or sweetness to get it just right. Here’s how to make a Raspiroska.

4. Absolut Raspberri Ruby
Incoming, incoming – your new favorite drink is here.

The Absolut Raspberri Ruby mixes Absolut Raspberri with the sweet orange flavors of Triple Sec, a splash of Grapefruit Juice, a dash of Lemon Juice, and then gets garnished with a Grapefruit Wedge and a Raspberry.

The combination of Raspberry flavors and Citrus go together so well together. At once, tart, sweet, juicy and citrusy, trust us, you’re gonna love this one. Discover our recipe for an Absolut Raspberri Ruby

5. Absolut Raspberri Blimey
Blimey, indeed. This is one incredibly delicious cocktail. “It’s very similar to the Raspiroska, but we’ve added a little bit of Black Currant Liqueur to really deepen the flavor experience but it adds different layers of complexity,” Rico says.

“The Black Currant Liqueur makes it a little bit richer, a little bit darker,” he adds. Sounds amazing, right? It is. Discover how to make an Absolut Raspberri Blimey.
