- Fresh or frozen raspberries
- Seltzer or club soda
- Simple Syrup
- 1 Lime
- Gin (I prefer Rangpur Tanqueray)

Simple Sugar Procedure:
- Combine 1 cup of sugar with ½ a cup of water & a cup of raspberries in a small pot and bring to boil.
- Take a swig of your gin
- Reduce heat and let simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool.

The finished product consistency should be the consistency of honey & deliciously sweet.

>>> OK, now the fun part!<<< 
- Fill your highball glass with ice
- Pour one finger worth of gin or two if you want it to be off the hook
- Spoon over 2-4 tablespoons your freshly made raspberry simple syrup
- Squeeze in some fresh lime juice then fill the remainder of the glass with seltzer of club soda
- Stir & serve

I garnished with lime and a few whole raspberries because I like pretty drinks. And yes, really men do like pretty & fruity drinks!

BTW, I’m using my left over raspberry simple syrup to drizzle over some French vanilla ice cream. Mmmmmmmm!
