I was recently going through some of my old photographs when I found this picture that I took several years ago. Going back even further in time when I used to live in Edinburgh, this cocktail used to be one of my favourite drinks as it was one of the signature cocktails where I used to work. Somehow over the years I forgot about it as the photo was stored away in the archives along with the recipe and memories, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find it and relive some happy times and of course enjoy a taste from the past that I won't be forgetting about again!
Serves
1
45ml
vodka
6
fresh raspberries
½ tsp
fresh ginger, grated
½
lime
Ginger
beer (or if you can't get it, Ginger Ale) to top up
In a
blender add the vodka, raspberries, ginger and lime juice and blend
until smooth. Shake with ice in a cocktail shaker or jar then using a
cocktail strainer or small sieve, strain the mix into a cocktail
glass and top up with the ginger beer. Cheers!
*For a
non-alcoholic version simply omit the vodka for a refreshing and zingy,
sparkly drink.
