Pure Joy Cocktail Recipe

This drink features one of the most exquisite fruit-spirit combinations, that of gin and raspberry. It is at once seductive and refreshing, making it an ideal warm weather cooler. I like to make this drink with Bombay Sapphire, which is lighter in gin's base botanicals (juniper berries and coriander) and presents a more floral, fruity character, featuring botanicals such as orris (the root of the iris flower), lemon peel, and bitter almonds.
