Cosmonaut Cocktail

Name: Cosmonaut Cocktail
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 60 ml London Dry Gin; 22.5 ml Fresh lemon juice; Raspberry jam; Skewered raspberry

Using jam instead of a flavored syrup or liqueur is the defining technique here - it adds body, natural pectin, and a more complex fruit character than a straightforward raspberry syrup ever could.

From the Bartender

Using jam instead of a flavored syrup or liqueur is the defining technique here - it adds body, natural pectin, and a more complex fruit character than a straightforward raspberry syrup ever could. Stirring to dissolve the jam before adding ice is essential to achieving a smooth, evenly integrated shake.
