Oh how I love Fridays. It's such a relief to have a week behind you and free days to do fun stuff ahead. This week's happy hour is a simple one that uses fresh raspberries (the first of the season) from the market. A few muddled berries, a little simple syrup and some gin are mixed up and topped off with a little seltzer. It's fresh and refreshing, the perfect way to start off the first official full weekend of summer.
Cheers to you my friends!

1 Egg white
1/2 PART Sugar syrup
1/2 PART Lemon juice
1/2 PART Lime juice
3 DROPS Orange flower water
(optional) 1 PART Soda water
METHOD Shake all ingredients, except for the soda. Strain into an ice filled highball, top with soda and garnish with a lemon wheel.
