I had a Vanilla Stoli with raspberry. It was sooo good! I know there is vanilla stoli, but what about the raspberry?
Answers:
Probably Frambois or Chambord. :) Sounds yummy!
There is a raspberry liqeuer (I think it is called Chambord) and I believe there is now a raspberry flavored vodka made by Smirnoff and another made by Absolut. These are often good if you add just a touch of cream to them.
It's also possible that it was raspberry juice, which you can most easily obtain from natural food stores. My wife fell in love with a pseudomartini from a local establishment that was berry-infused vodka, raspberry juice, and triple sec; I've learned to make it at home at her behest.
The raspberry could also be a schnapps. It is reasonably priced and chills well, all the bars i know use it.
You can buy the DeKuyper Razzmatazz, or for twice the price go for the good stuff, which is Chambord. A ballpark price puts these 2 liquors at $12 and $24 respectively.
There are plenty of raspberry flavored rums and vodkas...try mixing your vanilla vodka with one of them.
Ask the bartender, or call any bar and ask.
