Chef’s secret
Increasing the quantities:
If you are hosting a party, you can make this cocktail in advance in a pitcher. Simply adjust ingredient quantities according to the number of servings you want to prepare. Add ice and club soda just before serving.
Alcohol-free version:
For an alcohol-free version, substitute ginger ale for the spiced rum and leave out the Fragoli. You’ll get a refreshing drink everyone will love.
Preparing the simple syrup:
To make your own simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool before using.
Frosting the raspberries:
To add a festive touch to your raspberries, dip them in simple syrup and then roll them in sugar. Let them dry for a few minutes until the sugar crystallizes.
