Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make it ahead of time?

No, because a raspberry cocktail will not be cold. I have everything lined up in one area to make the cocktails.

Is it a martini gin or vodka?

A Martini is commonly served with gin but since the invention of this cocktail, vodka has been introduced and cocktails created while served in martini glasses.

I always enjoy sharing cocktails with friends but let’s not forget to drink responsibly and you must be 21 years of age to have a cocktail in America. Enjoy! See ya next time as my quest continues in search of the perfect bite!.
