Bright and bittersweet, the raspberry mojito is much like the final days of summer in its complexities.

2 ounces simple syrup

1 lime, cut into wedges

5 raspberries

12 mint leaves, plus more for garnish

Directions:

Place the lime wedges, mint and raspberries in the bottom of a highball glass. Using a spoon or muddler gently crush all ingredients just to release their oils.
