Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 ounces Grand Marnier
- 1 cup white rum
- 1 dash ginger powder
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 cups ice
- 4 cups soda water
- fresh mint leaves to garnish
- lemon twist to garnish
Instructions
- Add raspberries, lemon juice, Grand Marnier, rum, ginger powder, sugar and ice into a blender. Purée until smooth.
- Pour the purée into a pitcher. Pour the soda water over top and stir gently to combine.
- Gently muddle a few mint leaves at the bottom of each glass. Pour the beverage into glasses over top of the muddled mint. Add more mint leaves and ice, if desired and a twist of lemon peel to garnish.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you like, you can put the blended ingredients through a strainer to get rid of all of the seeds from the raspberries. I personally like the crunch.
- To make a lemon twist (also called a lemon curl), you will need a sharp knife and a vegetable peeler (see post for video instructions).
