We found that a small amount of Pernod in the rickeys added an interesting but unimposing accent. If you don't care for the flavor of Pernod, simply substitute an equal amount of additional vodka. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time. Ingredients:
a 10-ounce package frozen raspberries in light syrup, thawed |
1 1/4 cups fresh lime juice |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup vodka |
1/4 cup pernod |
3/4 cup superfine sugar |
1 cup chilled club soda or seltzer water |
garnish: fresh raspberries and lime slices |
Directions:
1. In a sieve set over a bowl drain raspberries, pressing gently on berries with back of a spoon if necessary to yield 1/2 cup liquid, and reserve raspberries for another use. In a 2-quart pitcher stir together raspberry liquid, lime juice, water, vodka, Pernod, and sugar until sugar is dissolved and chill until cold. Rickeys may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
2. Just before serving, add club soda or seltzer water, enough ice to fill pitcher, and some fresh raspberries and lime slices. Serve rickeys in glasses filled with ice and garnish with more fresh raspberries and lime slices.
