Oh gosh y’all, this cocktail gives me all the feels. I made this little gem to celebrate my friend Vicki’s birthday. Her absolute favorite flavors are pomegranate, raspberry, and mint. Oh, and she adores Sparkling Rosé. So I thought why not combine all of her favorite flavors in a fabulous Sparkling Martini… The VICKITINI!!

This cocktail is super easy to make–grab a little mint from the garden (give me all the garden herbs) and whip up a mint simple syrup. Combine the mint simple syrup with some pomegranate juice, a few muddled raspberries, vodka, and lime juice. Top with some sparkling rosé and you have a party, my friends.
