• 2 1/2 ounces golden rum
• 1 1/2 teaspoons raspberry syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon orange curacao
• 1/2 ounce lime juice
• lime(s)

Preparation:

Shake the rum,* raspberry syrup,** orange curaçao, and lime juice well with cracked ice. Place squeezed-out shell of half a lime in a double Old-Fashioned glass or small highball glass. (This is the earliest drink on record where you do this.) Pour the drink in, ice and all, and garnish with a few berries in season: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries — pretty much anything this side of crunchberries. Serve with a straw and a little spoon for the berries. If you’re making more than one at the same time, it’s easier to strain it into the glasses first and then pour the ice.
