More on the Raspberry Collins
Many Raspberry Collins recipes include a touch of creme de framboise or black raspberry liqueur. A collins should be dry and subtle but if an extra blast of raspberry flavour is needed, add no more than a quarter shot of the liqueur and a drop of extra lemon juice to balance the sweetness.
