Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker: A must for mixing everything together.
  • Muddler: Helpful for smashing the raspberries.
  • Strainer: Ensures purity by keeping seeds out.
  • Jigger: To measure everything just right.
  • Glassware: Highball or Collins glasses work great.
  • Stirring spoon: For blending the ingredients smoothly.

Ingredients

Here’s what I mix for a tasty Raspberry Lime Rickey:

  • Fresh raspberries: About 10 for that sweet flavor.
  • Lime juice: 1 ounce; fresh is best.
  • Simple syrup: 1 ounce; to sweeten the deal.
  • Club soda: To top it all up and add fizz.
  • Gin or vodka: 1.5 ounces for a kick.
  • Ice cubes: Plenty to keep things cool.
  • Lime wedges: For garnish and extra zest.

Instructions

Here’s how I make my Raspberry Lime Rickey:

  • Muddle the raspberries: Place them in the shaker and crush them gently.
  • Add lime juice: Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup.
  • Add spirit: Pour in the gin or vodka.
  • Mix it up: Add ice and shake well for about 15 seconds.
  • Strain and pour: Into a glass filled with ice.
  • Top with club soda: Add a splash or more, based on your taste.
  • Garnish: Finish with lime wedges.

Notes

A couple of tips I find handy:
Adjust sweetness: Change the amount of simple syrup to suit your taste.
Spirit choice: Gin gives a herbal touch, while vodka provides smoothness.
Try frozen raspberries: If fresh aren’t available, they work just as well.
Non-alcoholic: Skip the alcohol for a refreshing mocktail.
