Blue Raspberry Mock-tini

By Christy Rost

Pretty cocktails served in attractive glassware can really make the party! May I suggest On The Beach - a tasty combination of citrus, tequila, and triple sec, or Sunset In Aruba - a tropical cocktail featuring Courvoisier, pomegranate, and cherry flavorings, or the beautiful Blue Raspberry Mock-tini - a non-alchoholic raspberry summer cooler with a hint of fizz.

Ingredients:

2		ounces lemonade
1 ½		ounces Rose's® blue raspberry mix
½		ounce simple syrup
2		ounces seltzer water
1		wedge fresh lemon
		Sparkling sugar, to garnish rim of glass

Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a martini glass. Pour sparkling sugar onto a medium plate and shake to distribute it around the plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the sugar.

Fill a cocktail shaker ½ full with ice. Pour in lemonade, blue raspberry mix, and simple syrup. Cover and shake until chilled and well blended. Add seltzer water, shake gently, and strain into a prepared glass.
