What goes into the Raspberry Vodka Spritzer?

To make this delicious Valentine’s cocktail, you will need:

Raspberry vodka. I like Smirnoff Raspberry.
Creme De Cassis. My favorite is Lejay.
Fresh Blood Oranges
Club soda or seltzer water. Plain is the go-to here.
Fresh raspberries (for garnish).

Making the vodka spritz

This drink is super easy to make! All you need to do is juice a few blood oranges, and add them to a cocktail shaker with the raspberry vodka and creme de cassis. Shake well, and pour over ice. Top each cocktail with seltzer, and garnish with blood orange and raspberries!

This recipe makes 2 cocktails, but can easily be scaled up for a party (or fun date night in!).

Blood orange cocktail season

Blood oranges have a small moment at the peak of winter. You can find them in January and February, labeled as blood oranges, as well as “raspberry oranges. Aside from their deep red hue, blood oranges have a unique, raspberry-like flavor. The flavor, color, and seasonal availability of blood oranges make them perfect for this drink!

What brand of raspberry vodka should I use?

While you could use any of your favorite raspberry vodkas, I am partial to the flavor of Smirnoff Raspberry for this cocktail. Just be sure to use a raspberry flavored vodka in this drink, as it is crucial to the flavor of the cocktail.

Valentine's day cocktails with fresh blood orange juice, creme de cassis (lejay), and raspberry vodka

What is creme de cassis?

Creme de cassis is a fresh, tart blackcurrant liqueur, with notes of cherry and plum. It’s rich flavor and thick, velvety texture add a special quality to cocktails.

It not only adds a rich and fruity flavor to drinks, but it’s deep color makes for a visually stunning cocktail as well! It’s great to have on hand for brunch too, as it’s a great addition to prosecco or champagne!

My go-to brand is Lejay!
