Directions
The sugar syrup:
Add 1 cup (240ml) water and 1/2 cup (100g) sugar into a saucepan and bring to a boil, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Another tried method is to put water and sugar into a bowl and microwave on medium power for 5 minutes, faster and same result.
The cocktail:
1. Add vodka, raspberries, lime juice, sugar syrup, ginger water and mint leaves into a cocktail shaker along with crushed ice.
2. Pour the strained cocktail into a glass and garnish with extra raspberries and mint.
Note: To make a cute heart garnish, cut two raspberries in diagonal and tie them together with two toothpicks.
