The new Belvedere Vodka drink, inspired by the intensity of F1, is ideal for sipping while watching the big race this weekend, whether you're already in Miami or watching from the comfort of your house.
Brian Stewart, Belvedere Vodka's U.S. National Brand Ambassador, created the cocktail, capturing the excitement of race day. The cocktail is easy to sip and elegant, with a garnish of five raspberries as a playful tribute to the iconic five red lights at the beginning of each race.
"The beauty of this cocktail is that it's very easy to make at home or at an event. Everything you'll need is widely available in local supermarkets, and the drink itself combines some of nature's finest, but most simple flavors in a very elegant way," Stewart said.
Stewart said he went with raspberry and lime to create this cocktail because they create a bright flavor that makes for an easy-drinking cocktail. He said the spirit of F1 inspired the drink.
So, if you can't catch Daniel Riccardo live in Miami, this cocktail will transport you to the race. Serving The Belvedere Raspberry Circuit will get any party started. And below, we will teach you how to make it.
