- 6 Fresh Raspberries
- 2 ounces Gin
- 1 ounce Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Raspberry Syrup
- splash Club Soda
Muddle the raspberries - Place the fresh raspberries into a cocktail shaker and muddle them or mash them with a wooden spoon. Making sure they break apart.
Shake vigorously - Add some ice to the cocktail shaker along with the gin, lemon juice, and raspberry syrup. Shake the mixture vigorously.
Double strain the mixture - Fill a collins glass or highball glass with ice and set a small mesh sieve on top. Double strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.
Pour in the club soda - Top with club soda, leaving about an inch of space at the top of the glass. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lemon wedge.
- Make your own syrup. If you don't have raspberry syrup on hand, you can make your own by blending fresh raspberries with simple syrup in a blender, then straining the mixture to remove the seeds and pulp.
- Add some more flavor. To make your Raspberry Collins even more refreshing, try adding a few slices of cucumber or a sprig of fresh mint to the shaker before shaking.
- Make it sweeter. For a sweeter cocktail, you can adjust the amount of raspberry syrup to taste. Add more for a stronger raspberry flavor, or less for a more subtle hint of sweetness.
- Pour the club soda slowly. When adding the carbonated water, pour it slowly and carefully down the side of the glass to prevent it from fizzing over.
