Ingredients:
- 1 ounce of stoli raspberry vodka
- 1 ounce of crème de cacao white
- chambord black raspberry liqueur
- champagne or sparkling wine
- lemon zest or twist for garnish
- a scoop of medium sized ice cubes
Method
- Pour the vodka and crème de cacao into a cocktail shaker over ice.
- Close the shaker and shake aggressively.
- Strain into a sexy looking martini glass.
- Top with champagne or your favorite sparkling wine.
- Gently drizzle the Chambord Black Raspberry liqueur; it will settle in the bottom of the glass.

- Close your eyes, sip, indulge and repeat as required.
Note:
A perfect palate awakening aperitif - great before or after dinner, or simply on it's own in the sun. Crème de Cacao white can be substituted for White Chocolate Cream Liqueur for a more creamy texture and flavour.
