Raspberry Shiso Smash: fruity and refreshing
Jul 11, 2023
A classic cocktail is the Smash, which uses fresh herbs and fruit that are crushed to release the flavors in the best possible way. A great combination in this case is raspberries and shiso, which harmonize perfectly and result in a fresh and fruity drink that is simply delicious. As shiso is not always so easy to come by, the fresh herbs can also be wonderfully replaced with Dover Shiso Liqueur.
You need:
- 6cl Aichi Craft Gin Kiyosu
- 8-9 raspberries
- 3cl fresh lime juice
- 1cl Dover Shiso Liqueur
- 1,5 - 2cl Simple Syrup
Preparation:
- Place the raspberries in a shaker and crush well.
- Add the gin, shiso liqueur, lime juice and simple syrup to the shaker and shake vigorously
- Strain through a sieve into a cocktail glass
- Garnish with a shiso leaf or 1-2 raspberries if available.
