Valentine's Day Sour Raspberry cocktail in a coupe glass, centered on a white marble surface. The drink features two distinct layers: a pale pink raspberry base and a thick layer of white frothy foam on top, garnished with a delicate pink edible flower. The background shows a dark navy blue backdrop with warm golden bokeh lights creating a romantic ambiance. Pink rose petals are artfully scattered around the base of the glass, with a full pink rose positioned to the right side, softly out of focus.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Fresh raspberries Muddled
  • 2 oz Raspberry vodka Or gin
  • 1 oz Fresh lemon juice Strained
  • ½ oz Simple syrup Adjust to taste
  • 1 large Egg white Or aquafaba
  • ½ cup Ice cubes For shaking

Equipment

  • 1 Cocktail shaker Used for foaming
  • 1 Fine-mesh strainer For removing seeds
  • 1 Coupe glass Chilled

Method
 

  1. Muddle the fresh raspberries in the base of a cocktail shaker until completely broken down.
  2. Add the raspberry vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to the shaker.
  3. Shake the ingredients without ice for 30 seconds to aerate the egg white and create foam.
  4. Add ice to the shaker and shake again for 20 seconds until the mixture is very cold.
  5. Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth, seed-free texture.
  6. Carefully layer the foam over the pink liquid, ensuring it stays at the top of the glass.
  7. Garnish with whipped cream and an edible pink flower for a beautiful, festive presentation.

Notes

Use the 'dry shake' method for the thickest foam. Fresh raspberries provide a much brighter color and flavor than bottled syrups.
