Happy Wednesday! How is your week going so far? Been really busy here, now that school is out for the summer!
Dunno ’bout you but I sure crave fruity cocktails this time of year. Raspberries are some of my all time favorite berries. I dig their sweet ‘n tangy flavor. Besides they are super pretty to gaze upon before you pop ’em in your mouth.
This Red Raspberry Rascal Cocktail will have you happily sipping the summer away!
Funny when I was shooting these cocktails….I was trying to balance everything on my new “Table Top” piece of tin ceiling.
Things kept sliding around. Spilling a bit. Making the shoot a bit more challenging. But fun!
So how did I come up with the name Red Raspberry Rascal?
I did a shout out on Instagram and thankfully a few of you gave me some great ideas!
Dig my new Gold Ribbon Highball glasses? Vegas meets vintage chic.
They are from the fabulous MacKenzie-Childs.
To make these cocktails super full of raspberry flavor I used frozen raspberries and boiled them down into a juice.
A splash of Rhubarb Bitters gives a fun flavor boost.

I didnt even know rhubarb bitters existed! And boy, this looks soooo good! Dangerously good 🙂
Fitting as I LOVE danger……controlled danger of course 😉
oooohhhhhh yum!!! looks great Marla!
This is absolutely stunning, Marla! Yum!
Oooh! This cocktail…and, those MC glasses? I dig, I dig! Love the vintage vibe in your photography, Marla. I am just enamored with Mid-century design. The Big Lug and I call raspberries “snozberries” as a nod to Gene Wilder as Willie Wonka. (Adore Gene.) Now, we have a wicked Snozberry Cocktail to enjoy! Thank you for sharing! xo
Stacy, that is the BEST name for a cocktail…..you gotta post one like that. SNOZBERRY. love!
LOL, Marla! I totally should concoct a Snozberry Cocktail in honor of Gene and Willie Wonka! I’m totally nutty for berries just as you are and I hope you’ll try my blueberry cobbler recipe (posted on Monday). The secret is in the buttery biscuit crumble topping–made rich without milk and a beaten egg. The topping is best described as a cross between pie pastry, a biscuit and shortbread sugar cookie with a whisper of vanilla. You and your family will love it! xo
I am with you completely Marla on the fruity cocktails at this time of year, especially using fresh berries. This looks very refreshing! Love the glassware.
Thanks Toni! Come on over any time!
I have been on a cocktail kick since my birthday last month and I love that there is no sugar in these – so pretty!
Awesome Alyssa! Happy belated and glad you dig these cocktails!
So gorgeous, I’m having a hard time choosing a favorite photo to pin :).
Gotta tell ya Laura…..that kinda indecision makes me really happy 🙂 Thanks!
Love the name, love those glasses, and certainly am a fan of what’s inside. Cheers, Marla!
