This Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail is so refreshing, vibrant, and full of that easy-going summer spirit. It’s the drink you need when the sun’s out, the grill’s fired up, and the vibe is, well...a total vibe. Fresh raspberries and mint are muddled together to create a burst of bright, fruity flavor with just the right hint of freshness. A squeeze of lime adds some zing, and a splash—or a heavy pour—of vodka gives it that smooth, boozy kick. Round it all out with a touch of simple syrup for balance, then shake it up with raspberry lemonade—and just like that, you’ve got yourself one dangerously drinkable cocktail.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a cocktail shaker, combine fresh raspberries and mint. Muddle until the berries are crushed and fragrant.
Pour in vodka, raspberry lemonade, simple syrup, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice.
Add a few extra raspberries and a sprig of mint for that finishing touch.

Notes

Make It a Pitcher: To serve a crowd, multiply the ingredients by four or six. Muddle raspberries and mint directly in the pitcher, then add the rest of the ingredients. Stir well and serve over ice.
Fresh Is Best: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
Simple Syrup Tip: Making your own simple syrup is easy and tastes way better than store-bought. Just heat equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.
Switch Up the Spirit: Vodka is classic, but gin, white rum, or even tequila work great too. Pick your favorite.
Raspberry Lemonade Substitute: If you can’t find raspberry lemonade, use regular lemonade and add a splash of raspberry simple syrup for that extra fruity kick.
Extra Fizzy: If you like a little sparkle, top your cocktail with club soda or lemon-lime soda for a bubbly twist.
