To make the Blushing Geisha from RA Sushi, you will need a few key ingredients and a little bit of mixology know-how. This refreshing cocktail combines the tartness of cold lemonade with the sweetness of Skyy Raspberry vodka and raspberry liqueur, topped off with a hint of effervescence from lemon-lime soda.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make this delectable concoction:
1. Gather your ingredients:
– Skyy Raspberry vodka
– Raspberry liqueur
– Cold lemonade
– Lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
– Ice cubes
2. Start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. This will help chill and mix the ingredients together.
3. Add 1.5 ounces (1 shot) of Skyy Raspberry vodka to the cocktail shaker. The raspberry flavor of this vodka adds a delightful fruitiness to the drink.
4. Next, pour in 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of raspberry liqueur. This will enhance the sweetness and depth of flavor in the Blushing Geisha.
5. Now, it's time to add the cold lemonade. Pour in approximately 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of lemonade into the cocktail shaker. The tartness of the lemonade will balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
6. Give the cocktail shaker a good shake to mix all the ingredients together and create a refreshing blend of flavors.
7. Grab a highball glass or a similar tall glass and fill it with ice cubes. This will keep your Blushing Geisha nice and chilled.
8. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into the glass, allowing the vibrant pink liquid to cascade over the ice.
9. To finish off the cocktail, top it with a splash of lemon-lime soda. This will add a subtle fizz and a touch of citrus to the drink.
10. Optionally, you can garnish the Blushing Geisha with a fresh raspberry or a twist of lemon peel for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Now, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your homemade Blushing Geisha from RA Sushi. Sip on this delightful blend of cold lemonade, raspberry vodka, raspberry liqueur, and lemon-lime soda, and let the flavors transport you to a tropical paradise.
Remember, cocktail-making is an art, and you can always adjust the ratios of the ingredients to suit your personal taste preferences. Feel free to experiment and add your own creative twists to make the Blushing Geisha truly your own signature drink.
Cheers!
