Ingredients
Fruit and Garnish
- 12 fresh blackberries (or raspberries)
- Lemon peel strips (from one lemon, for twists)
- Fresh berries for garnish
Liquids
- 1 ounce simple syrup (use 2 ounces for a sweeter drink)
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice (from one lemon)
- 3 ounces cognac
- 1 ounce raspberry liqueur (like Chambord)
Others
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Muddle the Berries and Mix Flavors: Add the fresh blackberries, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently crush the berries, releasing their flavorful juices and blending them with the syrup and lemon to create a fruity base.
- Add Spirits and Ice, Then Shake: Pour in the cognac, raspberry liqueur, and add 3 ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 45-60 seconds. This chilling and mixing ensures a well-balanced, cool cocktail.
- Strain and Garnish: Strain the mixture evenly into two chilled glasses. Add extra ice cubes on top for chill. Garnish each drink with a fresh lemon twist and a fresh berry to enhance both aroma and presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest.
Notes
- For a sweeter cocktail, increase the simple syrup to 2 ounces.
- Use fresh blackberries or raspberries depending on availability and personal preference.
- Chilling the glasses before serving keeps the cocktail cold longer.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste for acidity.
- This recipe makes 2 servings.
