Tequila time with Raspberry Sweetness

I love tequila cocktail for a savory happy hour. This cocktail is fun. It's sweet and easy to drink: perfect for an amatuer tequila drinker like me. I like the balance of flavors that help show off the power of silver tequila.

Tequila Cocktail

Ingredients

2 1/2 oz Tequila

1 oz Lime Juice

1/2 oz Simple Syrup

6 raspberries muddled

Garnish: Raspberries

This one is a strong one! I like that you can taste the tequila but if you want to lighten it up just reduce the tequila to 2 ounces and top with sparkling water. You can actually keep drinking and just use the sparkling water as a nice add on. It keeps the cocktail going!

Recipe: In a cocktail mixing glass, muddle raspberries. Add ice, then simple syrup. Pour tequila and lime juice. Close and shake until cold (about fifteen seconds). Double strain into an old fashioned glass with ice. Garnish with raspberries.
