2 cups raspberry juice or 1-1/2 cup fresh raspberries 
1 cup water

sugar and straining to remove seeds. 
Fill ice cube trays with raspberry juice, garnishing each with a lemon twist and freeze until solid. 
To serve, place one raspberry cube in a champagne flute and fill with champagne.

Per drink (will be making enough to fill container)] 

3 ounces ruby grapefruit juice 
1 tsp grenadine 
1/2 tsp lemon juice 
3 ounces ginger ale 

Combine ingredients and serve over ice. 


Wild Berry Mojito


Ingredients:
1-1/2 oz. Bacardi Light Rum 
3-4 each of fresh blackberries, blueberries and red raspberries 
8-12 fresh mint leaves 
juice of one lime 
1 oz. simple syrup 
soda water 
mint sprig for garnish 

Directions:
In a 12-oz. highball glass, muddle mint, simple syrup, wild berries and lime juice. 
Fill glass with crushed ice — it is very important to use crushed ice, not cubed — then add rum. 
Stir well until the ice is reduced by 1/3, then top with more crushed ice, stirring until the glass begins to 
frost on the outside. 
Spritz with soda water and stir one last time to incorporate. 

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint that has been dusted with powdered sugar and two long straws to avoid 
tickling your nose with the garnish.
Tips: To muddle the mint against the bottom of the glass, use just enough pressure with your muddler to 
release the oils from the mint without tearing it. The back surface of a wooden spoon will serve as a muddler 
stand-in if needed. Use a lime squeezer to fully extract the lime's juice. To make simple syrup, dissolve an 
equal amount of granulated sugar in boiling water and then allow syrup to cool. Store in a clean bottle in a 
cool place.
