Cocktail Colin says:
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.

I just made this, and it was delightful! For a unique twist, try muddling a sprig of fresh thyme with the raspberries for an earthy note that complements the sweetness. Alternatively, swap the orange juice with grapefruit juice for extra tartness. Enjoy experimenting with this refreshing blend!
