Equipment

  • First, I grab a shaker to mix the ingredients properly.
  • Next, I use a strainer to make sure no seeds end up in my glass.
  • I'll also need a lovely tall glass to serve my drink.
  • I always keep a few stirring sticks handy, just in case.
  • Last but not least, a measuring jigger is essential for getting the perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Here's what I gather:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 ounces raspberry vodka
  • 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
  • I sometimes add a few mint leaves for a burst of freshness.

Optional: Ice cubes to make it even more refreshing. πŸ‹

Instructions

  • First, I muddle the raspberries and sugar together in the shaker until they are well combined.
  • Then, I add the lemon juice and vodka, followed by a good shake!
  • After that, I strain the mix into my glass filled with ice.
  • I top it off with lemon-lime soda, giving it a gentle stir.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

I like to experiment with different garnishes. Fresh mint is my personal favorite, as it adds extra freshness! One tip: If I prefer a sweeter drink, I add more sugar or adjust the soda-to-vodka ratio. It’s fun to play around! 😊
Sometimes, using flavored vodkas can give the cocktail a new twist. Let me know what you think in the comments! ✨
