It’s raspberry season! That means two things. Picnics with friends in the autumn sun and blushing pink glasses filled with schnappy, raspberry cocktails.
Each raspberry from our patch is plucked by hand in their prime from a ripe maroon harvest and turned into one of three things: a delightful non-alcoholic raspberry syrup, our famous Rubus Patch Gin, or — our scrumptious wildbrumby raspberry schnapps!
Our seasonal raspberry schnapps is sweet, tart and a little bit sassy. This vibrant berry has a knack for bringing excitement to any drink, which is why we keep an organically grown raspberry patch mere steps from our distillery door.
Filled to the brim with juicy raspberries, this schnapps is perfect to sip neat alongside a chocolate rich dessert or a selection of your favourite cheeses.
However, if we caught your attention at ‘blushing pink glasses filled with schnappy, raspberry cocktails’, we’ve got you covered. Here are four raspberry crazed cocktails you’ll want to try out and share with friends — or maybe just keep for yourself.
Raspberry Collins
Our Raspberry Collins recipe is a velvety, bubbly treat that boasts notes of vibrant berry and zesty lime. This is your no-fuss cocktail addition to an afternoon of friends and fruity cheese platters.
Ingredients:
30mL wildbrumby Raspberry schnapps
30mL Rubus Patch Gin
30mL Raspberry syrup
20ml fresh lime juice
Soda water
Method:
Add all your ingredients except the soda water to a big ice-filled glass. Give it a good stir with a bar spoon, then top with soda water. Garnish with mint, lime and fresh raspberries.
Alternatively, replace the raspberry syrup and lime juice with 15mL lemon juice and sugar syrup. Add a twist of lemon rind, and voila! You have a refreshing and Instagram-worthy cocktail in hand — thanks to the blushing hue of our raspberry schnapps.
Clover Club
Elegant, foamy and oh so tasty. The Clover Club has long been a drink associated with decadence and showmanship. Both our raspberry forward rubus patch gin and raspberry schnapps come together to create the ultimate pink drink.
Watch as this freshly shaken drink turns from a cloud of white to an exuberant pink in your glass!
If you’ve got a flashy Easter event planned this is the drink your guests will be talking about for days after.
