Notes
Is it possible to substitute syrup with fresh raspberries?
Indeed, combining fresh raspberries with the other ingredients in the shaker will add a touch of freshness and depth.
Does it come in an alcohol-free variant?
In an instant! Substitute a non-alcoholic spirit for the gin and flavor it with raspberry syrup. A wonderful mocktail, ginger ale retains its fizzy allure.
Can I whip up a batch of Floradora to serve at a gathering?
Yes, all you have to do is combine all the ingredients in a big pitcher and multiply the amount by the number of servings you require. For the ginger ale to keep its fizz, add it right before serving.
