I made and thoroughly enjoyed this Martini last night along with recipe #176606 for our dinner. Even though my boyfriend is a beer drinker, he really liked this drink. This drink recipe is going in my Drinks cookbook. Made in honor of Vic's DH.

I didn't have any raspberry liqueur so just used syrup instead, the first time I used the same amount of syrup as liqueur in the recipe but that was too sweet so I made it again using a little less syrup. This was really nice & sweet but as one of the other reviewers suggested I think it would also be good adding a little soda or mineral water as a topper. Made for ZWT III.

Loved it!!! This is a perfect cocktail for people who like a sweeter cocktail, AND for people who don't. DH (a serious liquor drinker!) and myself (a foo foo drinker) both loved it! I added a sugared rim, but it really didn't add that much to the drink, next time I won't bother. Thanks for the new summer cocktail Lazyme!!!
