Method
Cocktail
Muddle
Place the fresh raspberries, mint leaves (reserve one small sprig for garnish), and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker or a sturdy mixing glass. Gently muddle 6–8 times until raspberries are crushed and mint releases aroma but not pulverized.
Add spirits & citrus
Add the chilled vodka and fresh lime juice to the muddled mixture. Fill the shaker halfway with crushed ice, cap, and shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds to chill and integrate flavors.
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or large Collins glass with crushed ice to the top.
Strain & top
Double-strain the shaken mixture over the crushed ice (use a fine mesh strainer if available to keep solids out). Immediately top with 12 fl oz Smirnoff Ice Light Raspberry, pouring gently to preserve carbonation. Stir once gently with a bar spoon to combine.
Garnish & serve
Nestle the reserved mint sprig into the drink and place a raspberry or lime wheel on the rim. Serve with a straw and a small spoon for the crushed-ice texture.
