- Ice
Instructions
- Chill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to create the perfect cold foundation for this enchanting beverage.
- Pour raspberry liqueur and vanilla vodka into the shaker, ensuring a precise and balanced mixture.
- Vigorously shake the ingredients to thoroughly blend and rapidly cool the cocktail, creating a harmonious fusion of flavors.
- Select a glass and fill it with fresh ice to maintain the drink’s refreshing temperature.
- Carefully strain the shaken liquid into the prepared glass, allowing the cocktail to cascade smoothly over the ice.
- Gently pour lemon-lime soda over the mixture, creating a light and effervescent top layer that enhances the drink’s complexity.
- For a magical touch, delicately sprinkle silver shimmer dust across the surface, transforming the cocktail into a glamorous and eye-catching creation.

Notes
- Swap raspberry liqueur with grenadine for a kid-friendly mocktail version that retains the sweet, fruity flavor.
- Experiment with different vodka flavors like strawberry or cherry to customize the cocktail’s taste profile.
- Use fresh raspberries as a natural garnish instead of maraschino cherries for a healthier, more vibrant presentation.
- Chill the glass beforehand to keep the drink colder longer and enhance the overall drinking experience.
