Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Put the vodka, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and some ice in a cocktail shaker to prepare for mixing.
  2. Shake: Shake the mixture vigorously until it becomes super cold and well blended, usually about 15-20 seconds.
  3. Strain: Strain the cold mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes to maintain chill without dilution.
  4. Garnish and Top: Add a few fresh raspberries on top, and if you prefer a fizzy drink, top off with a splash of club soda.

Notes

  • For a sweeter or less tart drink, adjust the amount of raspberry syrup or lemon juice accordingly.
  • You can substitute fresh lemon juice with bottled lemon juice, but fresh will provide better flavor.
  • Use chilled vodka and syrup for a colder cocktail without needing too much ice dilution.
  • Optional club soda adds sparkle but can be omitted for a stronger cocktail experience.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda and adjust sweetness.
