INGREDIENTS

Clique Vodka

Rasberry Hibiscus Syrup

Whipped Cream (not light)

HOW TO MAKE

• Fill a cocktail tin all the way with ice and add 1 ½ oz Clique Vodka and 1 oz raspberry hibiscus syrup.* Shake very well, then add a small amount of regular (not light) whipped cream- just enough to bring a creamy texture to the cocktail. Shake again, and strain into a cocktail glass

• *Raspberry Hibiscus Syrup

  • 1 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 5 Raspberry hibiscus tea bags
  • Bring 1 ¼ cup of water to a boil, cut the heat and throw in 5 raspberry hibiscus tea bags (any brand). Let steep for about 10 minutes, then strain out the tea bags and squeeze and remaining liquid out of them. Add 1 cup of sugar and stir until dissolved, then let cool.

  EXPERT TIPS

  Only cream with a very high fat content won’t curdle from the acidity of the raspberry and hibiscus, so make sure you use whipped cream, or heavy whipping cream only.
