Ingredients

- 4 oz raspberry puree (fresh or frozen, strained)
- 1 oz vanilla syrup (Monin or homemade)
- 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp rose water (Nielsen-Massey)
- 3 oz oat milk or light cream

Garnish & serve
Serve immediately — the cream can separate if it sits too long.
Recipe Tips
- Use frozen raspberries (thawed and drained) for a more concentrated puree. Fresh berries work but can be watery in off-season.
- For a dairy-free version, barista-style oat milk gives the best creamy texture without separation.
- Make the raspberry puree up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate in a sealed jar. Add cream only when shaking the final drink.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: For more than two people, batch the base but keep any sparkling topper and garnish separate so each pour still feels special.
Easy swaps: Use a favorite berry or stone fruit in place of another fruit in the same flavor family. Use vanilla, rose, or citrus syrup sparingly to personalize the aroma.

Can I make this before dinner?
