Prepare the Raspberries: In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh raspberries until they’re mostly broken down. This releases their sweet juice.

Add Ingredients: Pour in the gin, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, feel free to add a little extra syrup.

Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, then secure the lid tightly.

Shake It Up: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

Strain: Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass, leaving behind the raspberry seeds and pulp.

Garnish: Top your cocktail with a few fresh raspberries and a lime wheel for a pop of color.

Serve: Enjoy your refreshing Raspberry Gimlet right away!
