Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is essential. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup. For a sparkling variation, top with sparkling wine or Prosecco. Consider adding a few drops of rose water for a floral flavor. For a spicy kick, add a slice of jalapeño to the shaker. To make a mocktail, replace the vodka with sparkling water or club soda and increase the amount of raspberry liqueur.
