Raspberry Averna Smash
GLASSWARE: thrifted rocks glass (similar!)
I absolutely love smash style cocktails, specifically because of how creative you can get! As long as you have some fruit, herbs, sugar, and spirit — you’re good to go. Raspberries and basil make the perfect duo, paired with the bittersweet notes from the Averna… YUM.
Ingredients:
3 raspberries
6 basil leaves
½ oz simple syrup
¾ oz lemon juice
1 oz Averna Amaro
2 oz bourbon
garnish: basil sprig + raspberry
Directions:
Add raspberries and basil sprigs to a cocktail shaker with simple syrup and lemon — muddle gently. Add Averna and bourbon along with ice and shake until chilled. Double strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice and garnish with a basil sprig and raspberry.
