A traditional Daiquiri is made with rum, lime juice, and sugar is simple, sharp, and elegant. The Raspberry Daiquiri enhances this with juicy raspberries, which bring a natural tartness and bold colour to the cocktail. Whether served over ice or blended into a frozen version, it’s a striking drink with a balance of sweet, sour, and fruity notes. Easy to make yet impressive to serve, it’s a crowd-pleaser at parties, summer evenings, or any time you crave a refreshing cocktail.
