Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass
Chill a martini/coupe glass by placing it in the freezer for 10 minutes or fill with ice water while you mix the cocktail.
- 2
Add Ketel Vodka (2 oz), triple sec (0.75 oz), fresh grapefruit juice (1.5 oz), fresh lime juice (0.5 oz), and raspberry purée (0.75 oz) to a cocktail shaker.
- 3
If you prefer a slightly sweeter Pumptini, add 0.25 oz simple syrup. This is optional — taste the raspberry purée and grapefruit juice to decide.
- 4
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and you see light frost on the outside.
- 5
Empty the ice water from the chilled glass if used. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled martini/coupe glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh (to remove raspberry seeds and small ice shards).
Garnish
- 6
Carefully place one dehydrated orange wheel on the rim or float it on the surface of the drink.
- 7
If using fresh raspberries, thread two raspberries onto a cocktail pick and rest it across the glass or place beside the orange wheel for a fresh color contrast.
- 8
Serve immediately while cold.
