Floradora

One taste of the Floradora and you’ll fall in love. This early 20th-century Broadway-inspired cocktail is easy and its ingredient list doesn’t do the flavour justice.

15mL Highland Heritage Mountain Flame Raspberry Liqueur
15mL freshly squeezed lime juice
120mL ginger ale
Lime wedge, for garnish

Top with ginger ale.

French Martini

The French martini is an explosion of flavour with just three ingredients. It is the ultimate fruit martini and its tantalizing taste of raspberry and pineapple has placed it at the top of all-time favourites. Whether you choose vodka or gin is up to you. With that fruity background, either is a worthy candidate.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Serve and enjoy.

 

Raspberry Mojito

Raspberries are the perfect fruit to give new life to a favourite drink. In this case, it’s the mojito. Fresh raspberries are added to the rum-mint mix and the berry profile is enhanced with a small amount of Highland Heritage Mountain Flame Raspberry Liqueur. The play of cool mint off sweet fruit is delightful and the raspberry mojito is sure to become a new love.

Top off with ginger ale and stir well.
Garnish with more raspberries and a sprig of mint. Serve and enjoy.

Cold in the Shadows

It’s interesting to note that Campari really is a great match for raspberries. It’s a hidden flavour pairing and the sweet fruits take the bite out of the bitter aperitif. Not only does the cold in the shadows recipe feature that duo, but it is finished off with an IPA. That’s right, beer and Campari can get along!

30mL Campari
15mL Highland Heritage Mountain Flame Raspberry Liqueur
30mL lime juice
15mL honey syrup
45mL IPA beer
Orange slice, for garnish
Lime slice, for garnish

Whip shake (shake just a few times) and add the beer to the tin.
Fill a highball glass with crushed ice. Strain the drink into the glass.
Garnish with slices of orange and lime and add a straw. Serve and enjoy.

 

Waterloo Sunset

The Waterloo sunset is a beautiful and elegant cocktail that will help you celebrate any occasion in style. A simple Champagne cocktail, the base is gin and elderflower liqueur, and the flute is filled with sparkling wine before a layer of Highland Heritage Mountain Flame Raspberry Liqueur is added. As the drink settles, you get the joy of watching a beautiful sunset right there in your glass.

Ingredients
60mL Gin
30mL elderflower liqueur
60-90mL Champagne, to taste

Nuts and Berries

45mL Highland Heritage Mountain Flame Raspberry Liqueur
60-90mL milk, or cream or half-and-half, to taste
