Raspberry Sparkler

The 4th of July may be over, but refreshing red cocktails are here to stay! This drink gets its bright red hue from raspberries, Campari and blood orange soda. The combination of bitter and sweet is enhanced with the subdued smoke of tequila reposado.

We used Cabo Wabo tequila and blood orange Italian soda from Whole Foods, but there are a variety of brands that will do the trick. If you can’t find blood orange soda, sub in another natural fruit soda. Happy July!

Ingredients

  • 10 raspberries
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • ½ oz Campari
  • 1 oz reposado tequila
  • Blood orange soda

Instructions

Muddle the raspberries with the lime juice and simple syrup at the bottom of a collins glass. Add Campari and tequila, then stir. Top with ice, then add blood orange soda.
