Pink Flirtini

New Mom Kate's Note:

Developed for "Sex and the City" actress Sarah Jessica Parker by a bartender at Guastavino's in NYC. This is a pink, fruity, bubbly drink that does not have a strong alcoholic taste. It is easy to over-indulge with this fun concoction! Perfect for a girls-night-in or bachelorlette party.

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 1 fluid ounce raspberry vodka
• 1/2 fluid ounce Cointreau liqueur
• 1/2 fluid ounce pineapple juice
• 1/2 fluid ounce cranberry juice
• 1 dash fresh lime juice
• 1 -2 raspberries
• champagne

Directions:

1. Muddle the raspberries in the bottom of a martini glass.
2. Combine the raspberry vodka, cointreau, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and lime juice in a shaker.
3. Shake and strain into glass.
4. Top with champagne.
5. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
6. Enjoy!
7. Tip: When I serve these at a party, I make a pitcher of Flirtini "mixer" (raspberry vodka, Cointreau, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and lime juice) ahead of time. Then guests can pour the "mixer" in their glass, and add the champagne and raspberries themselves!

This recipe is delicious! I followed your suggestion New Mom Kate and made a pitcher of the Flirtini "mixer" and just muddled the raspberries and added the mix and champagne to taste. I also added some soda water to my glass. YUMMY! Thanks for sharing. I made this for October 2008's "Think Pink Tag Game In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness."

I served this at girls night a year or two ago. Not only was it popular that night but my friend has asked me to serve it at her bridal shower.
