A pretty floral mocktail with muddled fresh raspberries, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and a touch of rose water, topped with tonic water. Refreshing, lightly bitter, and ready in five minutes.
Add the raspberries to a glass and muddle well until the berries are broken down and juicy.
Add the raspberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, and rose water. Fill the glass with ice.
Top with tonic water and stir gently once.
Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and dried rose petals.
Notes
Rose water: Use exactly 1/4 teaspoon. Rose water is very strong.Tonic water: Use anywhere from 2.5 to 3 oz (70-90ml) depending on how strong you want the drink. Start with less and top up to taste.To make it a cocktail: Add 1.5 oz (45ml) of gin before the tonic water. A floral or classic London Dry gin works beautifully here.Raspberry syrup: You can make your own raspberry syrup ahead of time. If you don't have any, use simple syrup and increase the fresh raspberries slightly for more berry flavour.
