    Baileys Cool Raspberry

    Whether you are celebrating Valentine’s Day and want a festive cocktail to drink, or simply a fan of fresh raspberries…this raspberry cocktail is a must try! With its smooth and creamy flavors chilled over ice, combined with the fresh muddled raspberries on the bottom, this drink is not only refreshing, but its packed with incredible flavor!

    Each year, my hubby makes a Valentine’s dinner and I get the night off from cooking. Typically, he knocks it out of the park with a juicy steak dinner, some roasted potatoes, and a veggie. A few years back however, he surprised me and even had a Valentine’s cocktail to add to the menu.

    As I watched him make these, not only was I excited to try it, but the muddling process was one I hadn’t seen before.

    One sip in, I was hooked. So hooked in fact that we actually set out to try a strawberry version the next night! Since then, these cocktails have been a tradition each Valentine’s day and one I thoroughly look forward to!

    This is one of those cocktails that was meant to be sipped slowly and thoroughly enjoyed. But I won’t judge you in the slightest if you end up gulping it down. Be sure to use a spoon to stir up those tasty raspberries as you enjoy this, or save that for the end!

    What is muddling?

    Muddling is a technique used in drinks to gently mash herbs or fruit to release their juices. This helps the flavors to bind with the alcohol better than simply using them whole.

    • Ice- simple ice-cubes work great, or you can use molds to really enhance the look of this drink
