On the Rocks: Raspberry Gin Crush.
In an attempt to stick with this week’s raspberry theme, this Wednesday’s cocktail is the Raspberry Gin Crush. The recipe below is actually a vegan version, but you can easily substitute Chambord for the fresh raspberries and agave nectar. I think I might have to try both versions, you know, just for the sake of comparing and contrasting. Ahem.
Ingredients:
– 8 fresh raspberries
– juice from 1/2 lime
– 1/2 teaspoon agave nectar
– 1 1/2 ounces gin
– about 2 ounces tonic
– ice
Muddle the raspberries, lime juice, and agave nectar together. Pour over ice. Add gin and tonic and stir. Serves 1.
