Method
Peach Melba Cocktail
-
Put the raspberri vodka, peaches and syrup into a food blender with two small handfuls of ice and blitz to a smooth puree.
-
Pour into 4 cocktail glasses.
-
Cut the reserved slice of peach into 4. slide 1 raspberry onto the end of each straw, followed by one piece of peach and a second raspberry. Place across the top of the glass. Drink straight away!
Raspberri Vodka Cocktail
-
To make the sugar syrup, place the sugar and water in a saucepan and dissolve the sugar on a low heat, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool. Transfer to a jar, cover and leave in the fridge until ready to use.
-
Place a small amount of sugar syrup in a shallow bowl, and place a thin layer of caster sugar in a second shallow bowl. Dip the rim of a cocktail glass into the syrup then dip in the sugar – you’ll have coated the rim with sugar. Repeat with a second glass then set aside.
-
Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour the Absolut Raspberri flavoured Vodka over the top, then add the cranberry juice, lemon juice, sugar syrup and raspberry puree. Shake well then strain into a cocktail glass.
-
Thread 3 raspberries onto each of the cocktail sticks and place on the rim of the glasses. Serve straight away.
