Description

Raspberry Collins works best when it is treated as more than a list of ingredients. The sour structure gives the drink its discipline: spirit for weight, citrus for energy and sweetness for shape. Gin, lemon juice, raspberries and simple syrup should feel bright and deliberate, with the tart edge making the flavour pop rather than vanish.

The best version tastes alive, not merely acidic; it should leave a clean finish and make the next sip feel inviting.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Gin
  • 30 ml lemon juice
  • 15 ml Simple Syrup
  • 5 pieces Raspberry (plus extra for garnish)
  • Soda Water to top
  • Ice
