RumRazz – Raspberry Cocktail
I can’t resist picking up some of fresh berries on my market runs in summer. When I see the colorful berries I get so many recipe ideas- desserts, sauces, salads etc. I pick up a box or two while daydreaming how beautiful the dishes are going to turn out, but I get too lazy and end up just eating those as such, or adding those to the morning cereal, which is not a bad thing, just that I don’t get any pictures out of those.
Another way to make sure that the fresh fruits don’t go waste is by mashing them and mixing in alcohol to make beautiful summer cocktails, you can never go wrong there! it is not like you need an excuse to have a cocktail, but adding summer fruits will make you feel even better about drinking.
This Friday night I made a raspberry cocktail for me and my mom on our regular Friday night happy hour session. It looked and tasted like a perfect girly drink, just the way I hoped it would! My mom prefers the margaritas that Siv makes though, she loves sour and salty more than sweet and tangy which is what this drink was. I like sweet drinks, and this tasted refreshing with a wonderful intense fruitiness, and the deep red color from fresh raspberries, a true visual treat!

i don’t think this drink is ‘girly’. it’s just fabulous, and gender neutral.
dear girl, look what you are doing: at this rate i might be setting a less-than-perfect example for Ana – Amma with perpetual cocktail in hand! And i can blame it all on “Auntie Sig” who posts these delicious cocktail recipes that I *have* to try (“leave out the alcohol, dummy”, you say? hmmm…)
he he, Sig, i am berry-holic in a very different way
when i buy berries they are gone in a matter of minutes! so i’ll have to really resolve hard to save some berries to try these enticing cocktails 
It looks so pretty too
abs fab.
Raspberry and the lemon peel looks awesome.

Do you know why I am lurking here?
Sounds great! I plan on making this at my 4th of July party.
This is great when blended with ice. I reccomend brown sugar as opposed to white.
