Ingredients
Raspberry Simple Syrup
- 4 ounces raspberries or frozen, fresh
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
Cocktail
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce white rum
- 1 ounce gin
- ½ ounce tequila silver or Blanco
- ½ ounce Cointreau liqueur or triple sec
- 2 ounces lemon juice or sub lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 ounces raspberry simple syrup see above ingredients for making syrup
- ½ cup black tea divided, iced
Instructions
- Raspberry Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and raspberries. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the berries have disintegrated into seeds. Remove from heat and strain out the berries and seeds through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar; let cool as needed. See full syrup post for more details on this recipe. You will need 2 ounces of syrup per cocktail recipe for 2.
- Long Island: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add in all of the liquors, lemon juice, and 2 ounces of raspberry syrup. Cover and shake to combine.
- Fill two 8-ounce highballs or Collins glasses with ice. Strain the cocktail equally between the two glasses. Top each glass off with ¼ cup of black iced tea and gently stir. Garnish with fresh mint, raspberries, or a lemon wedge as desired. Enjoy slowly - remember, it's boozy!

Notes
