During the golden age of the cocktail, a bartender’s only option was to use fresh ingredients. Today’s mixologists are once again returning to fresh fruits and herbs.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing several wonderful recipes that I found in an USA Airways magazine. This week, we’ll make a Raspberry Refresher. With so many places around the U.S. experiencing record high temperatures, this drink promises cool relief.
You’ll need:
15 fresh mint leaves
24 fresh raspberries
Three teaspoons of sugar
Juice of a half a lime
Three ounces of Beefeater gin
1.5 ounces of Cointreau
Crushed ice
Cold soda water
Place mint leaves, raspberries, lime juice, and sugar in a cocktail shaker and muddle until it’s all mush. Add gin and Cointreau and stir with ice until two-third full. Stir well and add soda to tastes.
Serves two.
