Fruit Alcohol Cocktail Recipe in 10 Minutes: Velvety

Instructions:

1. Place the 50g fresh raspberries into your shaker tin. Note: Using room temperature berries makes them easier to crush thoroughly.
2. Pour the 10ml rich simple syrup over the berries.
3. Use your muddler to press the berries into the syrup until they are a consistent, pulpy mush.
4. Pour in the 15ml fresh lime juice. Note: Always juice your limes fresh; bottled juice has a tinny aftertaste that ruins the fruit alcohol drink recipes' bright profile.
5. Add the 60ml premium white rum and 15ml orange liqueur to the tin.
6. Fill the shaker with plenty of ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the tin is painfully cold to the touch.
7. Fill your chilled highball glass with fresh ice (don't use the ice from the shaker).
8. Pour the contents through a strainer into the glass. If you used the [Highball Heaven What recipe](https://easychefideas.com/recipes/the-ultimate-highball-elevate-your-spirits/) technique before, you know that pouring over fresh ice is the key to clarity.
9. Top the drink with 30ml chilled club soda. Watch the red swirls dance through the bubbles.
10. Slap the mint sprig against your wrist to release the oils, tuck it into the ice, and add the dehydrated lime wheel.
