Today is a good day for an easy to make (and even easier to drink) cocktail. While you can use grenadine in place of raspberry I really advocate against it. This is nothing without the raspberry flavor and besides, a small bottle of raspberry syrup is cheap at the liquor store next to the Blockbuster in Adams Morgan.
Raspberry Highball
1 1/2 oz gin
1 oz raspberry syrup (or grenadine)
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
Shake in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a highball glass with ice. Top off with soda if you prefer, but this is also good just on ice. This is so good I'd serve it by the pitcher.
God loves a cheerful giver.
