DOTW: Raspberry Beret

I’m always on the lookout for a new cocktail, at least new to me. I also like to align the cocktails with the year’s seasons, and spring is here, as I can attest with my allergies. Not only did this drink look appropriate for the time of years, but the name Raspberry Beret caught my eye. First of all I love anything raspberry, and second of all: Raspberry Beret is one of my favorite song by the music artist Prince. So, yeah, it’s a no-brainer in my book. Make sure you have fresh eggs on hand, I’m guessing most people like their egg whites as fresh as possible!

What you’ll need:

Combine all ingredients, except club soda, in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into a coupe glass. Top off with club soda. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

Cheers!

Hello there, fellow foodies! My name is Erica, I was born and raised in Germany, and moved to the US, New York City to be exact, in July of 1987. I have worked most of my time here in the Big Apple as a bartender, but my true love is food. I cook just about every day, I search for good food everywhere, and pretty much always find it. I don't consider myself a food critic, I don't have the culinary background for that kind of expertise. I do however know good food, good chefs and good restaurants. I report back about my culinary adventures, and I choose to leave out my unsatisfactory experiences. We have enough negativity in our daily lives, I don't want to add to that. All the recipes in my FROM MY KITCHEN and DOTW blogs are cooked and prepared by me. All pictures are taken by me. I don't always eat everything you see in my pictures, but you bet your buns, I do try everything. Last but not least, you should know that I am a huge Top Chef fan. I have never missed an episode of the Bravo TV show. I have at this point visited almost 20 restaurants run by Top Chef contestants, and I'm continuously impressed by their skill, drive and passion. So I will continue to seek them out, and I hope you join me in my journey!
