    Merry Berry Martini - A Fun Signature Cocktail Recipe

    by Patti Estep · Dec 20, 2019

    Jump to Recipe

    This very merry berry martini recipe makes a nice signature drink for your party. It only requires a few ingredients and tastes great.

    We are big cranberry fans. Maybe it's because they are so pretty. Maybe it's because of their delicious tart flavor. Or, maybe, and most likely, it's because they only come around at the end of the year around the holidays.

    Two glasses of berry martini

    Originally I wanted to make a cranberry martini with clear cranberry vodka but I could only get my hands on raspberry vodka. 

    So this cocktail uses raspberry vodka (feel free to substitute cranberry if you want) and cranberry juice.

    I'm using pink cranberry juice here because I didn't want a red drink. However, feel free to use any cranberry juice you'd like. In fact, I would have liked to use white cranberry juice. Again, no place near my home was selling it.

    Two glasses of berry martini

    Finally, I also used some Grand Marnier liqueur in this drink. You could also use Cointreau or triple sec.

    Sugared rims and a pick of fresh cranberries complete the look making the drink look ever so festive.

    Enjoy this Very Merry Berry Martini recipe. It's a fun festive tasty cocktail everyone will love.

      I love cranberries too - it's the tart - simply the best and you can't beat that bright color especially this time of year. This is one I'm going to have to try on new years. Getting ready to head to the Texas coast today... By the time this little venture is over I will be ready to kick off my shoes and enjoy a tasty berry Martini.
