Raspberry Sparkler Recipes

Steps:

• Combine rum and juices. Fill three rocks or old-fashioned glasses with ice. Divide rum mixture evenly among glasses; top each with 2 ounces ginger ale. If desired, serve with fresh raspberries and cranberries.

Steps:

• Pulse 1 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup each mint and sugar in a food processor. Let sit 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. For each drink, combine 1/2 ounce each of the puree and orange-flavored vodka in a glass; top with sparkling white wine and garnish with raspberries.

Steps:

• Add the sugar, raspberries and 1 cup water to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Press the berries with the back of a wooden spoon so their juices leach into the mixture. Let sit and steep until cool. Strain, discarding the solids.
• Combine the cooled raspberry syrup, lime juice and club soda in a large pitcher. Pour into tall glasses filled with ice and garnish with the lime slices and a few extra berries.

Steps:

• Mix unflavored gelatine and sugar in medium microwaveable bowl until blended. Stir in soda. Let stand 3 min. or until gelatine is softened. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until gelatine and sugar are dissolved, stirring after each minute. Pour into 8-inch square dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Refrigerate 25 to 30 min. or until set but not firm. Meanwhile, add boiling water to raspberry gelatin mixes in separate medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Cool 15 min.
• Pour raspberry gelatin gently over clear gelatine layer in dish. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Cut into 36 squares; top with raspberries just before serving.
