- 2 Tbls Sweetened Lime Juice
- 2 fresh raspberries
- 1 Tbls Raspberry Powder
- (available through pastry supply vendors or make yourself by grinding dehydrated raspberries in a coffee grinder)

Rub a wedge of fresh lime around the rim of the martini glass Sprinkle the raspberry powder onto a sheet of non-absorbent paper and gently press the rim of the glasses onto the powder until it appears equally distributed; set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, half filled with cracked ice, mix in the vodka, triple sec, lime juice and cranberry juice cocktail. Shake vigorously until feeling very cold on your hand. Pour through the shaker strainer into each of the glasses. Drop in one raspberry and very gently lay one or two gold petals on top.
