I am so excited to bring you guys this drink recipe! I worked super hard to develop something unique and I think I got it! Sangrias are the first thing you think about when working with wine; but I wanted to make a trendy and delious cocktail. Two flavors that work really well togther are raspberry and mint. Its fresh and fruity! The perfect drink for spring and summer.
I’ve been infusing my simple syrups for years. I love the way it takes the flavor of a cocktail to the next level. With this recipe I didn’t want to just muddle mint leaves in a shaker i really wanted to capture that minty fresh flavor.
To start drop a few raspberries in your glass and muddle them until pureed.
This looks perfect! These mashed raspberries really take this drink to the next level.
The next part is super easy also; combine equal parts water and sugar to a small pot of boiling water until the sugar dissolves. Remove pot from heat and drop in the mint leaves.
Now its time for the fun part add a few more raspberries to a shaker along with 3 ounces of pink moscato. Muddle the raspberries in the shaker.
Next add vodka and mint simple syrup to the shaker and shake it til it feels right (ice cold in your hands) lol.
Now add crushed iced 3/4 of the way full in your glass and pour the cocktail over the ice.
Voila! We’re done 🙂
