Cocktails with Raspberry liqueur
Raspberry liqueur is a sweet liqueur of raspberries, usually on a neutral spirit, deep red and tasting of ripe fruit.
ABV15–20%
Substitutes for Raspberry liqueur
Another raspberry liqueur
Will do in the same amount, though sugar runs from about 250 to 400 g per liter, so taste.
Homemade replacement
Mix raspberry syrup and vodka in equal parts: about 20%, and sweeter than most.
Blackberry or blackcurrant liqueur
Crème de mûre or crème de cassis works in a pinch, in the same amount, with darker fruit.
Chambord
Black raspberry liqueur on a cognac base, at 16.5%. In the same amount it makes the drink darker and richer.
Storage
Color fades before flavor, and both fade faster in light. On a sunlit shelf a bottle turns pale and dull within a year; in a cupboard it holds up for two.
