RASPBERRY DAIQUIRI RECIPE: A REFRESHING SUMMER FAVORITE

This Raspberry Daiquiri recipe is a straight-up summer essential—fresh, fruity, and just the right amount of tart. It’s got all the crisp simplicity of a classic daiquiri, but with a bold raspberry twist that makes every sip feel like pure sunshine.

Every sip is smooth, bright, and packed with real flavor. The magic comes from using fresh lime juice for a citrusy kick, ripe raspberry syrup for natural sweetness, and a top-notch silver rum to bring it all together. No shortcuts—just simple, high-quality ingredients that make a big difference.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard bash, or just in the mood for something special, this cocktail is an easy go-to.

From Rum to Raspberry—Here’s What You’ll Need

A great daiquiri is all about balance—a little sweetness, a little tartness, and a smooth, crisp finish. Here’s what you’ll need to mix up the perfect Raspberry Daiquiri:

  • 2 oz Silver Rum – Light, crisp, and slightly sweet, silver rum serves as the ideal base, allowing the raspberry and lime to shine.

  • 1 oz Raspberry Syrup – The star of the show! Our Raspberry Syrup delivers rich, natural raspberry flavor, adding just the right amount of fruity sweetness without overpowering the cocktail.

  • 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice – A must-have for any great daiquiri. Freshly squeezed lime juice balances the sweetness and gives the drink its signature citrusy brightness.

  • Ice – Because a daiquiri should always be icy cold and perfectly diluted for that smooth, refreshing sip.

  • Garnish: Lime Wheel – A simple yet elegant finishing touch that enhances the drink’s aroma and presentation.

The Right Way to Craft a Smooth, Flavorful Daiquiri

A daiquiri should be smooth, refreshing, and perfectly chilled. Follow these steps to mix up a vibrant, fruity Raspberry Daiquiri that’s as refreshing as it looks.

1. Chill Your Glass

Start by placing a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes. This keeps your daiquiri icy cold from the first sip to the last.

2. Combine the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add:

  • 2 oz silver rum
  • 1 oz Liquid Alchemist Raspberry Syrup
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice

3. Shake It Like You Mean It

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. This aerates the cocktail, ensuring a light, crisp texture and perfect chill.

4. Strain & Serve

Take your chilled glass out of the freezer and strain the cocktail into it using a fine-mesh strainer for an ultra-smooth pour.

5. Garnish & Enjoy

Finish it off with a lime wheel—either placed on the rim or floating on top for a touch of citrus aroma and elegance.

6. Savor the Moment

Take a sip and enjoy how the sweet, tangy raspberry perfectly balances the zesty lime and smooth rum. It’s bright, refreshing, and effortlessly delicious—the perfect cocktail for any summer occasion. Cheers!
