Chill Glass: Place your cocktail glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill. This helps keep the drink cold and the sugar rim intact.
Prepare Sugar Rim: Spread sugar on a small plate. Moisten the rim of the chilled glass with a lemon wedge or a bit of simple syrup. Dip the rim into the sugar, rotating gently to coat evenly.
Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, raspberry liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
Shake Well: Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, until well-chilled.
Strain: Strain the cocktail into the prepared sugar-rimmed glass.
Garnish: Garnish with fresh raspberries or a lemon slice, if desired.
