2 oz Vodka : A smooth vodka is key for a balanced taste.
½ oz Chambord (or you can substitute with crème de cassis or raspberry liqueur) : This luscious raspberry liqueur adds a beautiful sweetness and incredible color.
½ oz Simple Syrup : A couple squeezes of love! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also use homemade syrup or flavored ones!
¼ oz Fresh Lime Juice : The fresh zing really cuts through the sweetness.
1½ oz Cranberry Watermelon Juice : I used Ocean Spray’s cranberry watermelon juice for the best flavor and color!
Prosecco or Champagne (Optional) : A dry or brut sparkling wine will elevate the drink beautifully!
Candy Heart Gummies : Skewered for charm! Or use fresh fruit chunks like strawberries or watermelon.
Pink Sanding Sugar : For those fabulous rimming vibes.

Let’s Get Cooking!

Alright, let’s dive into making this incredible Pink Sweetie Valen-Tini!

Prepare Your Glass: Grab a lovely martini glass and gently swipe the rim with a lime wedge. You want to make sure it’s nice and moist! Now, dip the rim into that pink sanding sugar. Set it aside while you mix, this is going to be a treat for the eyes!
Mixing Time: Next up, grab a cocktail shaker. It’s time to splash in the vodka and Chambord liqueur, like your favorite mixologist!
Add the Fresh Stuff: Now, splash in the divine fresh-squeezed lime juice and add the simple syrup. Follow that with the cranberry watermelon juice, which will bring that beautiful pink hue!
Ice, Ice Baby: Fill your cocktail shaker about three-quarters of the way with fresh ice cubes. This is where the magic happens, folks.
Shake It Up!: Cover the shaker with a tight-fitting lid trust me, you don’t want this gorgeous mix flying everywhere, and shake vigorously until everything is cold and combined. You’ll know it’s ready when you feel that frosty chill through the shaker.
Strain and Garnish: Strain the delightful mixture into the prepared martini glass. It should look stunning!
Garnish Time: Top it off with a skewer of those adorable pink heart gummies or your fruit of choice. If you’re feeling fancy, splash a bit of sparkling Champagne or prosecco on top. Serve immediately, and make sure it’s served ice-cold for that perfect sip.

And voilà! Your Pink Sweetie Valen-Tini is ready to impress!
