And when it's paired with the sweet, tart taste of raspberries, it creates the perfect combination of fruity and boozy. It’s perfect for long, cold winter nights, but it tastes so good, you’ll want to make it year-round. To wake up the mint's flavor, slap the leaves between your palms or gently tear them before adding them to the glass. That’s because (like all good martinis) it’s mostly booze. But you’ll also add fresh pineapple juice to keep it from being too strong. If you want a slightly sweeter drink, be sure to add the optional orange liqueur, and don’t forget to sugar the rim.

While the recipe calls for tonic water, feel free to use soda water or citrus soda if you want it sweeter.With a light pink hue to match its statement baby pink bottle, this Cream Liqueur has a strong aroma of fresh summer berries and succulent flavours of vanilla, caramel, fresh berry jam, and a final spicy hint of cinnamon. It’s easy to recognize with its stunning pink hue and fluffy egg white foam on top (that’s a sour signature, so don’t skip it!). And with this recipe, you can jazz up the typically minty drink with raspberries and raspberry rum. You can use frozen raspberries; enough to cover the bottom of the glass should do. Thaw the berries first so they're easier to muddle. I’m not sure why it’s called the Zipper, but I like to think it’s because it puts a little “zippity doo dah” in your step after drinking it.

Either way, it takes about a minute to make, and it’s just strong enough to make you feel the alcohol without getting you too buzzed. It takes five minutes to make and calls for just six ingredients. The result? A sweet and charming drink that tastes just as good as it looks.

You can have a big batch ready in about 10 minutes, and it’s super easy to modify to your own tastes. So feel free to experiment! Switch to another lightly flavored soda if you like. Club soda and sparkling waters will not be as sweet as ginger ale and work really well in this mojito. You could also pour sparkling wine; rosé is an excellent choice. The sweetness of the raspberries pairs flawlessly with the sour notes of lime to make one absolutely unforgettable mixed drink. You’ll use a blend of raspberry liqueur, cranberry juice, and lemonade to get just the right balance of berry flavors and citrus.
