Frequently asked questions
The best part is that this syrup works for literally anything: cocktails, pancakes, waffles, and even flourless chocolate cake. Here’s what to know about this versatile syrup! Alex and I are cocktail experts and afficionados. We first created this recipe for raspberry cocktails like the classic Clover Club and Raspberry Martini. Then realized that it works for pancakes and waffles as well. A little goes a long way! Here’s what you’ll need for this raspberry syrup (outside of water):
Raspberries Granulated sugar
Raspberry syrup is great for berries that are almost past their prime. Because the berries are already starting to break down, they’re just right for a syrup where you’ll break them down even further. Just make sure to sort through and make sure there are no moldy berries!
Heat the water & sugar over medium heat in a saucepan until it dissolves. Add the berries and cook 5 minutes, until the raspberries fully break down. Watch the heat to make sure it doesn’t bubble over. Pass the sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Use a spatula to force the sauce through the strainer until you have a clear liquid and all the seeds are strained out.
Cocktails: Try the classic Clover Club or a raspberry martini. Chocolate cake: A little drizzle on flourless chocolate cake is heavenly, or try it on chocolate zucchini cake. Cheesecake: Make this crustless cheesecake with raspberries. Ice cream or frozen yogurt: It’s an instant dessert over vanilla ice cream or homemade frozen yogurt. Yogurt: Make a snack by drizzling over Greek yogurt with toasted pecans. Pancakes or waffles: Drizzle it over Greek yogurt pancakes, banana oatmeal pancakes, waffles, or vegan waffles.
