This glorious mixed drink welcomes you to fall in style.
It's that time of year where it's kinda summer and kinda fall. You know, where you wear a sweater in the morning but suffer a heat stroke by afternoon. This cocktail is perfect for that transition. It's a bit sweet and tart like summer, but spicy and comfy like fall.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Bourbon
- 1/2 ounce maraschino
- 4 raspberries
- 4 ounces soda water
- 2 ounces ginger beer
Directions
Add the raspberries and a splash of Bourbon to a mixing glass. Using a muddler, smash the raspberries.
Add in the remaining Bourbon, maraschino, and some ice. Cover and shake for ten seconds.
Strain into a highball glass with ice.
Add the soda water and the ginger beer.
Garnish with fresh (unsmashed) raspberries. Oh, and if you are looking to hold on to those raspberries for a few weeks, look at this simple raspberry storage tip.
