Raspberry Collins
Fruity, citrusy and refreshing, the Raspberry Collins combines our Raspberry & Lemon Verbena Gin with fresh lemon, simple syrup and a spoonful of raspberry jam for an extra burst of fruit before being lengthened with chilled soda.
Ingredients
- 60ml Raspberry & Lemon Verbena Gin
- 30ml fresh lemon juice
- 15ml simple syrup
- 1 bar-spoon raspberry jam
- Chilled soda water, to top
- Plenty of ice
- Fresh raspberries and lemon, to garnish
How to Make a Raspberry Collins
Add the Raspberry & Lemon Verbena Gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and raspberry jam to a cocktail shaker.
Stir briefly with a bar spoon to help loosen the raspberry jam and combine it with the other ingredients.
Fill the shaker generously with ice and shake thoroughly until well chilled.
Fill a Collins or highball glass with fresh ice, then fine-strain the cocktail into the glass.
Top with chilled soda water and give the drink a gentle stir to combine.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lemon wheel or twist.
The Perfect Serve
Raspberry & Lemon Verbena Gin
Distilled here on Ynys Môn, our Raspberry & Lemon Verbena Gin combines fresh raspberry character with the bright, citrus-herbal lift of lemon verbena.
The gin is made without added sugar or sweeteners, keeping the profile dry and allowing juniper, raspberry and citrus to remain clear and well balanced.
In the Raspberry Collins, the spoonful of raspberry jam adds another layer of fruit and texture, while fresh lemon provides acidity and soda keeps the finished drink light and refreshing.
