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 a long time ago but not opened.
I had fresh raspberries
I had sugar
We grow limes (and sweet basil as well)
It was hot.

How sad is that?
