"The requirements for a perfect summer cocktail: cool, sparkling, and gorgeous,” says Susan Lynn of Greendance — The Winery at Sand Hill. The Raspberry Julia checks all three boxes! Inspired by the view of radiant red raspberry fields you can see out of the tasting room windows at the winery, this fresh, fruity drink will be a crowdpleaser at your next summer party or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Egg white
- 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
- 1 oz Raspberry vodka
- 2 oz Greendance Red Raspberry Wine
- 1/2 oz Elderflower liqueur
- 1 oz Black Raspberry Sparkling Water
- 4-5 Small ice cubes
- 1 Edible flower, for garnish
Instructions
Add the egg white to your shaker and shake for 15 seconds without ice or any other ingredients. (This will help you create a lovely foam that gives this drink its silky texture!) Once you’ve agitated the egg white, fill your shaker with the remaining ingredients except for the Sparkling Ice and ice cubes. Once thoroughly shaken (another 15 seconds), add the ice and Black Raspberry Sparkling Water to your glass and pour the shaker contents overtop. Garnish with an edible flower, and serve in a 6 oz-Champagne flute.
