Method
Cocktail
Muddle
In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, place the fresh raspberries and simple syrup. Gently muddle the raspberries with a muddler or the back of a spoon until they break down and release their juices but still retain some texture (about 8–10 light presses).
Add liquids
Add the Cîroc Red Berry vodka (2 oz), cranberry juice (1 oz), and fresh lime juice (0.5 oz) to the shaker with the muddled raspberries.
Shake with ice
Add a generous scoop of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold.
Strain
Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or a julep strainer) to remove raspberry seeds and pulp. If you prefer more texture, single-strain only.
Top and stir
Top the cocktail with about 2 oz sparkling water. Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 rotations) to combine without flattening the carbonation.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and a mint sprig if using. Optionally drop a whole raspberry into the drink for presentation. Serve immediately with a straw.
