Notes
- Customization: Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the agave syrup. For a lighter drink, top it off with soda water or a splash of sparkling wine.
- Substitutions:
- If raspberry liqueur is unavailable, use a raspberry syrup or muddled raspberries with a bit of sugar as an alternative.
- Replace tequila with vodka or rum for a different flavor profile.
- Presentation: Use heart-shaped picks for the raspberries or freeze raspberries in ice cubes for an elegant touch.
- Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare all the ingredients in advance (except the ice) to streamline the process when serving.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair this cocktail with light appetizers like bruschetta, chocolate-covered strawberries, or a charcuterie board to enhance the romantic vibe.
