Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

The Berry Blush mixes vodka’s subtle bite with the mellow sweetness of orange juice and cranberry's tart backdrop, creating a delightfully harmonious sip. Red vermouth adds a sophisticated touch, infusing a mild herbal bitterness that complements the berry brightness from the fresh raspberries and rounds out the flavor profile perfectly.
