This is the time of year we start getting plump, juicy fresh berries 
into the markets. That makes it one of my favorite times of the year 
despite the desert heat and raging monsoons we are subjected to here in 
Tucson.  I just get out to the markets early in the mornings, before the
 clouds start to build over the mountains, grab the best baskets of 
raspberries, then hurry home to beat the flash floods and await happy 
hour.
Come late afternoon the monsoons have usually arrived and I am safely tucked dryly away sipping on a cocktail. Today it will be this one:
The
RASPBERRIES & CREAM
MARTINI
1 Oz. Raspberry Vodka
1/2 Oz. Chambord
1 Oz. Heavy Cream
2 Oz. Fresh Raspberry Puree
Garnish: Fresh Raspberries, Lemon Twist
DIRECTIONS
