Ingredients
 
 

Citric Sugar Rim

  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp citric acid

Mocktail

  • 5 fresh raspberries
  • 2 oz cranberry juice cocktail not 100% pure cranberry juice
  • 1 oz orange juice fresh
  • 1/2 oz raspberry simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz lime juice fresh
  • ice

Garnish

  • fresh raspberries on a cocktail pick

Instructions
 

Prepare the rim

  • Mix the sugar and citric acid together on a small flat plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a double rocks glass and dip into the citric sugar mixture to coat.

Build the drink

  • Fill the rimmed glass with ice.
  • Muddle the raspberries in a cocktail shaker until broken down.
  • Add the cranberry juice orange juice, raspberry syrup and lime juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake hard for 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain into the prepared glass over ice. Garnish with fresh raspberries or raspberry candies on a cocktail pick.

Notes

  • Cranberry juice: Use cranberry juice cocktail, not 100% pure cranberry juice. Pure cranberry is too harsh and tannic for this drink.
  • Rim mixture: The citric sugar rim keeps in a small sealed jar for weeks. Make a big batch and it's ready whenever you need it.
  • Soda water: Optional. It lightens the drink slightly but won't make it noticeably fizzy in a short glass.
  • Adjusting: Add more raspberry syrup if you want it sweeter, or a little more lime if you want more tartness.
Both US and metric measurements are provided. Use the toggle to switch between the two.
