Description
A refreshing cocktail that blends the tangy flavor of fresh raspberries with zesty lemon and smooth vodka.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 Fresh raspberries
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1 ounce Fresh lemon juice
- ¾ ounce Simple syrup
- Ice
Instructions
- Prepare the Simple Syrup: Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool before using, or make it ahead of time.
- Muddle the Raspberries: In your shaker, add about 6-8 fresh raspberries. With your muddler, gently press down to release their juices without turning them into a puree.
- Add the Liquids: Pour in 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, and ¾ ounce of simple syrup into the shaker.
- Shake It Up: Fill your cocktail shaker with ice, close it tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
- Strain: Using your strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass, discarding the raspberry seeds.
- Garnish: For a stunning presentation, garnish with a few whole raspberries or a lemon twist. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill your glasses in the freezer before serving; this keeps the cocktail colder, longer. Be gentle when muddling raspberries to avoid excessive pulp.
