Helpful Tips for the Perfect Tropical Raspberry Breeze
Chill Your Glass – Place your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before making your drink. This keeps the cocktail colder for longer and enhances the refreshing effect.
Use Crushed Ice – Instead of large ice cubes, use crushed ice for a smoother, more blended texture and better flavor distribution.
Shake for Extra Flavor – If you want a more blended taste, shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice before pouring. This also creates a light froth on top.
Balance the Sweetness – If you prefer a less sweet drink, replace 7-Up with soda water or use half 7-Up and half sparkling water.
Make It Fancy – Garnish with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherries, or a sugared rim for a bar-worthy presentation.
Batch It for a Crowd – Multiply the ingredients and mix them in a large pitcher (but add the 7-Up just before serving to keep it fizzy).
Frozen Version – Blend all ingredients with crushed ice for a tropical slushy cocktail!
