This cocktail is giving valentine’s day feels in a glass!

Sweet and sour flavour combinations are my favourite cocktail flavour profile. The flavours married perfectly with the sharp yet sweet raspberry taste in this cocktail.

To give the drink some flair, I used a lime wedge to rim the glass and dipped it in some white sugar.

I also got creative with the garnish and decided to remove the insides of half a lime and place a trio of frozen raspberries inside.

Alterations: If you are not fond of tonic water you can top this drink with lemonade, sprite or soda water
