Raspberry Collins

A refreshing sweet twist on the classic.

What you will need ​

  • 50ml Raspberry Gin
  • 25ml lemon balm sugar syrup
  • 10ml Lemon Juice
  • A few raspberries
  • Soda water or prosecco 
  • Ice
  • Cocktail Shaker or Jar with a lid

What to do:​

  • Pop all the ingredients, bar the soda water into a cocktail shaker or jar
  • Shake, shake it
  • Strain into your ice filled glass
  • Top with soda water or prosecco, if you are feeling extra fancy.
  • Garnish with a few raspberries

We made our sugar syrup with 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water and 1 cup of fresh lemon balm leaves. Pop in a pan and gently bring to the boil. After a minute the sugar should be dissolved. Take off the heat and leave for 30 minutes and then pour through a sieve. It will keep in the fridge once cool for a week and is nice just with soda water too for a refreshing drink.
