Sip Story: Love Potion No. 21 Recipe

By Anna Price

Making and perfecting cocktails is one of my favorite things to do, and this is definitely my signature drink! This delicious raspberry drink is my mom’s absolute favorite - and since her birthday is 2 days before Valentine’s Day, her favorite color is pink, and her favorite flavor is raspberry - clearly there was no better choice for a concoction. It is such a simple recipe, but you can really elevate the drink by using a chilled glass and by infusing your own vodka. All you have to do is put raspberries or strawberries in a mason jar with vodka and store for at least 24 hours in a cool dry place - and voila!

Let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

• 2oz. of strawberry or raspberry infused (or flavored) vodka
