If you like dessert-style cocktails, this one’s a no-brainer. The Raspberry White Chocolate Martini is smooth, creamy, and has just the right balance of sweetness. It’s like drinking a boozy raspberry truffle, but with a slight kick from the vodka to keep things interesting.
This drink is perfect for Galentine’s Day, date night, or when you just want something indulgent without actually making dessert. The best part? It’s ridiculously easy to make, but still looks like you put in effort.

Your Burning Questions Answered
Can I make this ahead of time?
Mix everything except the cream and keep it in the fridge. Shake with cream right before serving.
What vodka works best?
A smooth one—Tito’s, Grey Goose, or Ketel One.
Can I use milk instead of cream?
You can, but it won’t be as rich. If using milk, go for whole milk for a better texture.
If you love creamy cocktails, this one’s worth making. I tried this for a Galentine’s get-together, and let’s just say—there were no leftovers. It’s rich but not too heavy, making it perfect for sipping while catching up with friends. Serve it with a side of chocolate-covered strawberries or a raspberry tart for an extra indulgent treat!
