Happy Almost Valentine’s Day! I’ve shared a couple delicious recipes so far this year, and have a third for you today – make sure to check out my Caramel Creme Brulee Martini and Cherry Lime Moscow Mule. This delicious cocktail features Smirnoff Raspberry vodka and is absolutely wonderful for celebrating Valentine’s Day.
Raspberry Passion Fruit Kiss
- 3 ounces Smirnoff Raspberry Vodka
- 1 ounce Limoncello
- 6 ounces Passion Fruit Juice
- Fresh Raspberries for garnish
- In a cocktail shaker, mix ice, Smirnoff Raspberry Vodka, Limoncello, and Passion Fruit Juice
- Shake, Shake, Shake
- Strain into a glass over ice
- Garnish with fresh raspberries
I used Smirnoff Raspberry for the raspberry flavor and I love how it tastes with the passion fruit juice and limoncello. This cocktail has some sweetness to it, but it isn’t overpowering, and the limoncello adds a bit of tartness. If you wanted to add some bubbly to it, you could easily add a splash of lemon-lime pop or prosecco for a little bit of fizz.
Generally Brad and I have a pretty low key Valentine’s Day. It has never really been something that we celebrate (I still remember one year in college we spent it at a UW basketball game). I’m thinking that this year will simply be a dinner at home and we’ll enjoy one of these cocktails.
No matter if your Valentine’s Day plans are simply a dinner at home or elaborate dinners out, this cocktail is a great way to end the night! What are your plans this year for Valentine’s Day?

I didn’t know there was Raspberry Vodka! You drink looks very good and I am going to be adding it our Cocktail Board on Pinterest.

I had a friend asking me for a recipe to make with peach juice. This might work instead of passion fruit. Thanks for the inspiration!
