Razzle Dazzle

I recently read that this summer will be the “summer of Cosmopolitan.” So with that in mind, I decided to make my own twist. I’m partial to gin over vodka (who doesn’t want more flavor??) and love the combination of raspberry with lime. So, I present to you the Razzle Dazzle, a cranberry-raspberry concoction sure to please fans of Sonic’s raspberry limeade and gin drinkers alike.

Ingredients

1.5 oz Gin
1/2 oz Chambord (or other Raspberry Liqueur)
1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 oz Unsweetened Cranberry Juice (if you use regular, omit simple syrup)
1/4 oz Simple Syrup

Lime Wheel (for garnish)

Instructions

Place your vessel of choice, likely a martini or coupe glass, into the freezer to chill. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in your ingredients. Shake until frosty, and then strain into your pre-chilled coupe. Make a small slice through the radius of the lime wheel, and place it on the rim of your glass. Enjoy!
