    ✨Tips & tricks

    • Use fresh ingredients - Using the freshest ingredients will give you the best flavor in this cocktail.
    • Adjust sweetness to your liking - Depending on your personal taste when it comes to sweetness, you can reduce or increase the amount of simple syrup that you use in this recipe.
    • Chill your glassware - Chilling your serving glass is the best way to keep your cocktail cooler for longer.
    • Muddle but, don't over mix - Your muddled raspberries and mint should only take about 10 - 20 seconds to release the mint flavor. Any longer will result in a bitter taste from the bruised mint.
