RASPBERRY LIME VODKA COCKTAIL AKA THE PERFECT DRINK FOR ANY PARTY OR FRIDAY NIGHT IN!

I mean, I've never been been a big drinker and I'll never be one. Why did someone like me suddenly decide to make a raspberry lime vodka cocktail? Well, I had a bottle of raspberry flavored vodka that I had bought for a house party that was never opened. I didn't want to just let it sit in my kitchen like a useless little prop so I came up with the idea for this drink on a very hot day when I also happened to have fresh raspberries in my fridge.
And guess what, this raspberry lime vodka cocktail recipe is lushhh. I am in lurrrrv. 😍😍 If you're a total sucker for raspberries like me, you're definitely going to love it! This drink has a refreshing raspberry and lime flavor and just enough alcohol for you to taste it. It is a perfect summer cooler or party drink. And it could also make a great date night drink or something you can enjoy when staying in on a Friday night. Plus, it's really easy to make and ready in 15 minutes. Isn't that amazing?!

- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 8 raspberries
- 2 table spoons of raspberry flavored vodka or plain vodka (though I think you'll get less of the raspberry scent with plain vodka. So you can use more fresh raspberries than suggested above)

For garnish (optional):
- 4 raspberries
- 2 slices of lime

HOW TO MAKE RASPBERRY LIME VODKA COCKTAIL
1. Start by making some simple syrup. Simply dissolve 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in 1/4 cup of water over low heat. Then, set aside to cool.
2. Place a small mesh strainer over a glass and press 8 fresh raspberries (or a few more if you're using plain vodka) through with the back of a spoon. Discard the seeds.
3. Once the simple syrup is cool, combine it with the raspberry juice, 1/2 tablespoon of lime juice and 2 tablespoons of vodka.
4. Split the raspberry vodka mixture between 2 glasses. Fill the glasses with ice and add soda water.
