Notes
The drink tastes best with fresh raspberries, but frozen ones work in a pinch. Just thaw them first.
Using a copper mug keeps the drink extra cold and adds to the traditional presentation.
Make sure to use real ginger beer instead of ginger ale for the best flavor. Ginger beer has a stronger taste.
Store leftover fresh raspberries in the fridge for up to 3 days.
