Raspberry liqueur

• Liqueurs
• Alcoholic

Raspberry liqueur is made by macerating raspberries in alcohol and adding sugar; the sweeter, denser French version is called crème de framboise. Some black-raspberry products add blackberries, vanilla, honey and a little cognac. The colour ranges from ruby red to deep purple, and the flavour is ripe red berries, sweet with a light acidity. In the French Martini it meets vodka and pineapple juice; a few drops also colour and perfume a glass of sparkling wine.

Strength: usually 18% ABV (legal minimum 15%).

Used in 1 cocktail.
