AdInstructions
- Raspberry syrup (per cocktail)
- Put 100–125 g fresh raspberries in a small saucepan with slightly less than a tablespoon of demerara sugar and a splash of water.
- Warm over low heat, mashing the berries gently until the mixture turns soupy.
- Pass it through a fine sieve and then through a muslin cloth to get a clear syrup.
- Stir in more demerara sugar to taste, but keep the syrup distinctly tart. Let it cool.
- Cocktail
- Mix equal parts freeze-dried raspberry powder and fine sugar and coat the rim of a coupe with it.
- Add the dark rum, crème de cacao and the cooled raspberry syrup to a shaker with ice.
- Shake until very cold.
- Pour into the coupe, or divide between two Nick & Nora glasses to share.
