RASPBERRY LIME RICKEY
Steps:
- In a sieve set over a bowl drain raspberries, pressing gently on berries with back of a spoon if necessary to yield 1/2 cup liquid, and reserve raspberries for another use. In a 2-quart pitcher stir together raspberry liquid, lime juice, water, vodka, Pernod, and sugar until sugar is dissolved and chill until cold. Rickeys may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Just before serving, add club soda or seltzer water, enough ice to fill pitcher, and some fresh raspberries and lime slices. Serve rickeys in glasses filled with ice and garnish with more fresh raspberries and lime slices.
Tips:
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh raspberries and limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen ones, but thaw them first.
- Chill Your Glass: Chilling your glass before you make the drink will help keep it cold and refreshing.
- Add Ice: Use plenty of ice to keep the drink cold and dilute it slightly.
- Use Quality Club Soda: Choose a good quality club soda for the best flavor. Avoid using flat or cheap club soda.
- Garnish: Garnish your drink with a lime wedge or a few fresh raspberries for a pop of color and flavor.
