Tips & Tricks
- Chill the syrup: Ensure the raspberry syrup is well-chilled before mixing to keep the cocktail refreshingly cool.
- Shake vigorously: Shaking the cocktail well is crucial to create a frothy texture from the egg whites.
- Strain thoroughly: Make sure to strain the raspberry mixture well to remove all seeds and achieve a smooth syrup.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh raspberries and lime juice will enhance the flavor and aroma of the cocktail.
- Egg white alternative: If you’re concerned about using raw egg whites, you can use pasteurized egg whites or a foam alternative.
- Garnish creatively: For a fancier presentation, consider adding a twist of lime peel or mint leaves along with the raspberry skewers.
