  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 6-8 fresh raspberries
  • 2-3 fresh mint leaves
  • Club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh raspberries and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • Place raspberries and mint leaves in the cocktail shaker.

  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.

Notes

The drink can be made non-alcoholic by replacing vodka with extra club soda.
Store fresh raspberries in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before using.
Make simple syrup ahead by mixing equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until sugar dissolves, then cool and store in the fridge.
For a stronger raspberry flavor, let muddled fruit sit in vodka for 30 minutes before mixing.
