Here's one I recently made that was very tasty!

I had a bit of Absolut Kurant (black currant) vodka and some frozen raspberries I wanted to use up.

I threw a cup or so of the raspberries into a blender with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sparkling water (Mandarin flavoured, in this case), 3-4 oz of the Absolut Kurant and a ounce or so of Grand Marnier. I blended it and then strained it (to remove the seeds) into two chilled cocktail glasses.

The black currant and raspberry flavours complement each other and the Grand Marnier gives a touch of orange and sweetness, so no sugar is required. The colour is an intense raspberry red, very pretty.

It's like a Razzy Kurant or something.....
