INGREDIENTS

    • 2 raspberries
    • 5ml simple syrup
    • 50ml Raspberry and Hibiscus Gin
    • 15ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
    • Soda
    • Garnish: 2 raspberries, 1 lemon wheel and 1 mint sprig

METHOD

  1. Add the raspberries and simple syrup to a shaker and gently muddle.
  2. Add the gin and lemon juice, then fill the shaker with ice.
  3. Shake briefly, just enough to chill.
  4. Strain into an ice-filled Collins glass.
  5. Top with soda and stir gently to combine.
  6. Garnish with the raspberries, lemon wheel, and mint sprig.

NOTES

For a clearer drink, fine strain to remove raspberry seeds.

If you prefer it slightly sweeter, increase syrup to 7.5 ml.

Clap the mint gently before garnishing to release aroma.
