Why You Will Love This Recipe
Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail is a simple 2 ingredient drink made from Malibu Rum and Simply Raspberry Lemonad.
There are also SO many flavors of rum out there too you could go crazy combining 2 different flavors. This drink is great to take to the cabin or for a BBQ. Easy to throw into a large pitcher or make a nonalcoholic version for the kiddos.
I was going to post this last Summer and I never did and I wish I wouldn't have waited that long to share the recipe. The last 2 drink recipes I posted and did an updated on are doing really well on Pinterest right now so I'm trying to share more drinks.
Ingredients for Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail
- Malibu Rum - is a popular brand of Caribbean rum that is flavored with coconut. It is known for its sweet, tropical taste and is often used in cocktails such as piña coladas and daiquiris.
- Simple Raspberry Lemonade - this is found next to the OJ in most grocery stores. Simply OJ has a lot of different flavors and this is an easy drink to mix it up with different juice flavors. If you are following the WW plan they make a diet version of the Simply Raspberry Lemonade. The line is 8 fluid ounces for 1 point so you can mix this with an ounce of Rum for 3 points.
- Ice
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to make Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail
Step 1: In a cocktail shaker add rum and raspberry lemonade and shake until well mixed. If you don't have a cocktail shaker you can simply add the ounce of rum to the glass and pour the lemonade over some ice. Stir to combine.
Step 2: Pour over ice in a highball glass (any type of glass will do). Garnish with a twist of lemon and a fresh raspberry if desired.
Bartending Tips for Beginners
- Always keep 6 basic liquors stocked in your bar. Those are Vodka, Whiskey, Rum, Tequila, Gin, and Brandy.
- Different types of liqueurs are also great to have for a well stocked bar. Examples of creme based liqueurs are Rumchata, Kauhula, or Irish Cream
- Essential mixers to keep on hand would be ginger beer, different flavored juices, or or sodas like Sprite and Club.
- Simple syrups are just equal parts sugar and water and you can add whatever extract flavoring you want to them.
- Of course, always keep a variety of different cocktail glasses serving and ice on hand.
