This is quite tasty made as directed but with at least twice as much mint and cucumber. Double strain this one unless you’re OK with cucumber and raspberry pulp/seeds in your drink. I topped mine off with 2 oz each of soda water and sparkling wine to lighten things up. Great pre-paella drink!

Very good but the amount of lemon juice should depend on the sweetness of the berries. 3/4 oz was a bit too sour for me. Also, the cucumber and mint didn’t really come thru so maybe up the mint and grate the cucumber before muddling. Excellent served with blue cheese and probably with pate. Looking forward to trying it with grilled shrimp this summer.
This is delicious - but packs a punch. I add some seltzer so I can have more than one!
