I love raspberry cocktails. They are sweet, yet slightly tart. This makes for a wonderful drink that has a good balance and complexity of flavor. Some of these drinks are made with raspberry-flavored liqueurs, while others have fresh blended raspberries. All of these drinks will make your summer nights a little more refreshing.

Bonus Tips
- Simple Syrup: You can also make raspberry simple syrup in bulk and store it in the fridge when you are not using it. To do this, all you need to do is add equal parts water, white granulated sugar, and crushed raspberries (fresh or frozen).
- Frozen Berries: Frozen raspberries can usually be substituted for fresh. Bonus: They will make your blended drinks super frosty without adding extra water.
- Use Mid Shelf Liquor: Don’t feel you have to buy the most expensive alcohol, but don’t buy the cheapest either. Buy something middle of the road for the best flavor without breaking the bank.
