Instructions
Raspberry Simple Syrup
- Combine the raspberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer and then a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Once the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves, turn off the heat. Use a potato masher or fork to break down the raspberries. Let the mixture steep for at least 15 minutes.
- Place a bowl or measuring cup under a fine-mesh sieve or strainer. Strain the raspberries from the liquid. The liquid is your simple syrup. Allow to cool and then store in a sterile, airtight container in the refrigerator.
Shaken Raspberry Daiquiri
- Add the white rum, raspberry purée, raspberry simple syrup, lime juice and a handful of cubed ice to a cocktail shaker.
- Seal the top of the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously, about 15-30 seconds.
- Strain the drink into a chilled coupe or martini glass. If desired, garnish with additional raspberries and a lime wheel. Enjoy!
Frozen Raspberry Daiquiri
- Add the frozen raspberries, crushed ice, white rum, raspberry simple syrup and lime juice to a blender.
- Blend until the mixture turns smooth and creamy.
- Pour into a chilled glass. If desired, garnish with additional raspberries and a lime wheel. Enjoy!

Notes
8-serving shaken raspberry daiquiri pitcher recipe: Stir together 2 cups raspberry purée, 2 cups white rum, 1 cup lime juice and 1 cup raspberry simple syrup. Cover and refrigerate up to a day. When ready to serve, stir the pitcher well, pour 6 ounces per drink into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake as you would. For a pitcher of frozen daiquiris, simply scale up as much as your blender can hold.
- To make the raspberry purée, blend raspberries together with a splash of water until smooth. If it's a bit too thick after blending, add more water and blend again.
- If you don't have an ice machine to make crushed ice, which blends more easily, you can crush it yourself. Place ice cubes in a sealable bag and smash it with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
- If stored properly, the syrup should last for two to three weeks.
