A vibrant and refreshing cocktail featuring the delightful combination of raspberries, lime, and mint.
In a highball glass, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves, lime wedges, and ripe raspberries with the sugar syrup.
Avoid over-muddling the mint to prevent bitterness.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving some space at the top.
Crushed ice chills the drink faster and dilutes it less than cubed ice.
Pour the white rum and raspberry liqueur over the ice.
Measure the alcohol accurately for a balanced flavor.
Top up with cranberry juice and stir gently to combine.
Stirring gently ensures the flavors mix without losing the fizz if using carbonated juice.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a few raspberries on top.
A visually appealing garnish enhances the overall presentation.
