Notes

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
  • Rum: I like using white rum here.
    • I like Bacardi and Plantation best.
  • Lime Juice: Use freshly squeezed juice. 
Krystle's Tips
  1. Out-of-season raspberries? You can add more sugar to your simple syrup. Taste as you go.
  2. Lime Juice: To get the most juice from your limes, microwave them for 20-30 seconds and roll them on the counter.
  3. No cocktail shaker? No problem! Use a mason jar instead.
  4. Avoid a Watered-Down Drink: Use frozen raspberries instead of ice to avoid watering down your cocktail.
  5. Serve: Serve in a chilled glass with a stem like a wine glass.
