Ingredients:
- 💕 A handful of raspberries, muddled
- 💕 Raspberries for garnish
- 🧊 Ice
- 🍸️ 50ml Darnley's Navy Strength Gin
- 💚 Juice from 1/2 a lime
- ✨️ 100ml soda water
- 🍬 25ml sugar syrup
Instructions:
-
Muddle the Raspberries: Begin by placing a handful of fresh raspberries in a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently mash the berries, releasing their juice and vibrant colour.
-
Add the Gin: Pour in 50ml of Darnley's Navy Strength Gin. Our Navy Strength gin is known for its bold, spicy flavour, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the raspberries.
-
Add the Sugar Syrup: Add 25ml of sugar syrup to the shaker. This will balance out the tartness of the raspberries and lime.
-
Squeeze the Lime: Cut a lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the shaker. The lime juice adds a refreshing citrusy kick to the cocktail.
-
Shake it Up: Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This not only chills the drink but also ensures all the ingredients are well-mixed.
-
Strain: Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. This will remove the raspberry seeds and pulp, giving you a smooth cocktail.
-
Top with Soda Water: Pour 100ml of soda water into the glass. The soda water lightens the cocktail, making it incredibly refreshing.
-
Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with a few whole raspberries and serve immediately!
