Notas
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.
