Raspberry Cocktail Duo- Raspberry Whiskey Sour and Raspberry Martini

Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate I’ve made a cocktail duo that’s perfect for the vodka and the whiskey drinker to enjoy. The first is a raspberry whiskey sour, a refreshing twist on a whiskey sour, and the second is a raspberry martini, a sweet fruity cocktail. Both are made with raspberry simple syrup making it convenient to enjoy both for 2 or 1.

• 2 ounces raspberry simple syrup

• 2 ounces sweetened lemon juice
