Raspberry bourbon smash

@RBWellsM to

Cocktails, the libationary art! • 1 year ago

1.5 oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond

.75 oz Montbisu raspberry liqueur

6 raspberries

Half a lemon, cut in quarters

1 heaping tsp natural sugar

Topo Chico

Muddled the fruit and sugar in a shaker, added the liquors and shook with ice, added Topo Chico and poured between shaker halves. Strained into the glass (pain in the ass with the fruit, if anyone has advice on that please offer it). Topped with some more of the fizzy water, it’s really very very good. Sweet enough, lemon oil from rind adds enough bitterness for some depth, bourbon and berries have an affinity, the fizz is delightful.

BTW, this saga started with an attempt at a raspberry caprinha that I literally poured out - it was not good.

I’ve got to be honest, raspberry and bourbon does not sound like a good combination, despite that I am very fond of both.

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it’s in some way related to cocktails it’s probably fine.

If you post something you didn’t create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don’t like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It’s a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
