Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar optional, for added sweetness
- 4 ounces Moscato wine
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves and extra raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Raspberry Base: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries and sugar (if using) into a puree using a muddler or the back of a spoon. If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the raspberry puree, Moscato wine, and vodka. Fill the shaker halfway with ice, then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to blend the flavors.
- Pour & Add Bubbles: Fill two glasses with ice and strain the shaken cocktail into each glass. Top with sparkling water or club soda for that irresistible fizz.
- Garnish & Serve: Add fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint to each glass for a stunning presentation. Optional: Rim the glass with sugar for an extra festive touch.
- Sip & Enjoy: Find a cozy spot, take a sip, and savor the delightful flavors of this refreshing cocktail!
Notes
- Chill Everything: Use chilled Moscato, vodka, and sparkling water to keep your cocktail crisp and refreshing.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If your Moscato is very sweet, skip the extra sugar or add a splash of fresh lemon juice for a tart contrast.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try swapping raspberries for strawberries or blackberries, or add a splash of cranberry juice for a festive twist.
- Use a Flavored Soda: Enhance the drink by using raspberry or lemon-flavored sparkling water instead of plain club soda.
