Trader Max Cocktail

Makes 1 cocktail

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. fresh lime juice

1 tsp. orgeat syrup

1 oz. white rum

5-6 fresh raspberries

5 oz. sparkling wine

Directions

1. In a cocktail shaker, thoroughly muddle the fresh raspberries with the fruit juices and orgeat.

2. Add the rum and fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds, or until the container has condensation and is extremely cold to the touch.

3. Strain the mixture into a sparkling wine flute or white wine glass. There may be small bits of smashed raspberry that come through the shaker’s strainer. If you don’t want those, pass the liquid through a small sieve. (I did so for the photo I used here.)

4. Top with chilled sparkling wine, and serve!
