Raspberry Lemon Drop Cocktail

This. Drink. Is. Delicious! The fresh raspberries are wonderfully tart without being overly sweet. It is super refreshing and a perfect summer cocktail.

Raspberry Lemon Drop Cocktail

It can be a bit slow to strain and I promise you will want to have more than one, so you can also make a small batch and strain it into a pitcher which is a little easier than making one at a time.

 

Ingredients:

For the Rim:

  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • Zest of one lemon

For the Drink:

  • 2oz vodka
  • 0.5oz Cointreau
  • 1oz lemon juice
  • About 10 raspberries
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar

Directions:
Mix together the sugar and lemon zest in a shallow bowl or plate. Wet the rim of a glass and dip into the sugar mixture.

In a shaker combine the raspberries and sugar. Muddle well until the raspberries are completely crushed and the sugar begins to dissolve. Fill the shaker with ice and add in the remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Double strain (use both the strainer on the cocktail shaker and an additional strainer to catch raspberry pulp) into the glass.
