Raspberry Jammin’
This cocktail is inspired by the times in life when you want a fancy cocktail but don’t have much in your fridge or time to run to the store. All you need is vodka (or gin) lime juice (or lemon or orange even) and a bit of jam or jelly. Because life is hectic and you deserve something fancy!
In this post we feature Velo Vodka, which is female-owned and based in South Boston, and then also put in a beautiful Quinn Coupe glass from Caskata. Caskata is female-owned and based in Wellesley. We loved working with these brands and we hope you enjoy this cocktail with your #rideordies, your #ladyloves or your #girlgang. Use code CHIXX10 for 10% off @caskatatableware
Tips and Trixx:
Choose your favorite jam and jelly. The best ones for this recipe are a little viscous so that they blend easily when shaken.
The amount of jam you add may depend on which jam you use. Start with 1 tablespoon, shake and have a taste before straining. If the raspberry and sweetness isn’t coming through and get more lime flavor, add a bit more jam, shake and repeat till it meets your taste.
We use raspberry jam in this recipe though strawberry, blueberry, etc works great too.
A bit of honey or simple syrup can be added to up the sweetness if that’s your jam ;-)
Ingredients:
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Lime Juice
1-2 tablespoons of Raspberry Jam (strawberry jam works great too)
Fresh lime for garnish
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice.
Shake for 20 seconds.
Strain into a chilled coupe. (double strain if your jam has seeds or is chunky)
Garnish with an lime twist or fresh berries.
