How to Make Ruby Red Raspberry Cocktail?

This cocktail delight is easily prepared on the rocks with a cocktail shaker and in less than 5 minutes we have the beauty of its pale pink color with a citrus and herbal aroma!

let’s prepare it!!

1.-In a cocktail shaker add grapefruit, raspberries, lemon juice, and elderflower liqueur

2.-Muddle gently until obtaining a mix of juice

3.-Add ice and vodka, then shake gently for 5-8 sec.

4.- Do the double strain procedure to obtain a clean cocktail and serve into a short glass with clean ice, decorate, and enjoy!

How do I do the double Strainer Procedure?

This will depend on whether you have a cobbler shaker with a strainer built into the lid, if so, we will only need a fine mesh strainer to make our double strain.

Now if you use a cocktail shaker called Boston, you need to have a cocktail strainer since the Boston-type shaker does not have a strainer integrated, it only consists of 2 parts, so we need a cocktail strainer and the fine mesh strainer for our double strain, these are very useful. I recommend having one at home.

If you don’t have any of those utensils, don’t worry, you can still create your cocktail and not stay with the desire.

Use a tall glass to macerate the ingredients and you can use some forks as a filter or, if applicable, a small plate or lid that fits the glass that you replaced as a shaker. The idea is to leave a clean cocktail without much residue, making the cocktail less clean. content of our cocktail!
