How to Serve Raspberry Moscato Cocktail

Serve the Raspberry Moscato Cocktail in a chilled glass to keep it refreshing. Garnish each glass with mint leaves and a few extra raspberries for a beautiful presentation. This cocktail is best enjoyed right after making it, as the sparkling water adds a lively fizz that enhances the flavor.

How to Store Raspberry Moscato Cocktail

Unfortunately, Raspberry Moscato Cocktail is best served fresh. The fresh ingredients, especially the raspberries and sparkling water, can lose their flavor and fizz when stored. If you have leftover raspberry puree, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to two days. Just add it to your Moscato and sparkling water when you’re ready to serve again!

Tips to Make Raspberry Moscato Cocktail

• Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. Frozen raspberries can work, but they might make the cocktail a bit watery.
• If you don’t have a muddler, the back of a spoon works well too.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your taste.
• If you want a stronger drink, increase the amount of vodka.
• Make it a mocktail by omitting the vodka and using more sparkling water.

Variation

For a twist on this cocktail, you can substitute the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries. The recipe remains the same and will create a different but equally refreshing drink.
