Ingredients

Scale

Liquids

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz raspberry syrup
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • club soda (optional, to taste)

Garnish

  • a handful fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Put the vodka, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and some ice in a cocktail shaker to prepare the base of your Raspberry Vodka Sour.
  2. Shake: Shake the mixture vigorously until it is very cold, ensuring all the ingredients mix well and chill thoroughly.
  3. Strain: Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice to keep the cocktail perfectly chilled without the ice from the shaker diluting it.
  4. Add Garnish and Soda: Top off the drink with a few fresh raspberries for a vibrant garnish and add a splash of club soda if you prefer a fizzy touch.
  5. Serve: Enjoy your refreshing Raspberry Vodka Sour immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor balance and brightness.
  • Adjust raspberry syrup amount to taste if you prefer it sweeter or tarter.
  • Club soda is optional; omit it for a stronger, non-fizzy cocktail.
  • To enhance presentation, lightly muddle a few raspberries at the bottom of the shaker before mixing.
  • This recipe makes one serving but can be scaled up for multiple servings.
