This drink combines nostalgia and adventure, and marks the shift from summer to autumn with a delightful blend of palate-pleasing flavours. The vanilla vodka provides a smooth, subtly sweet base that’s complemented by the fruity notes of raspberry liqueur and passion-fruit juice, the raspberry puree adds a burst of berry freshness, while the lemonade brings a refreshing, citrussy zing. It’s all crowned off with a toasted marshmallow garnish for a playful hint of caramelised sweetness.

Fill a shaker with ice, measure in the vanilla vodka, raspberry liqueur, passion fruit juice and raspberry puree, then hard shake until very well mixed and chilled.
