FAQ's

Ingredient specifics icon

What is raspberry rum and how does it differ from regular rum?

Raspberry rum is a flavored variant of regular rum that is infused with raspberry flavors, either natural or artificial. It typically has a sweeter, fruitier taste compared to regular rum, making it a popular choice for fruit-based cocktails or to add a berry twist to traditional rum cocktails.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of the Razor compare to that of other cocktails?

With an alcohol content of 3.43%, the Razor falls into the lower range of alcoholic strength for cocktails. It is significantly less potent than many classic cocktails, which can range from about 10% to as high as 40% alcohol by volume (ABV), making it a lighter option suitable for occasions when a less intoxicating drink is preferred.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve a Razor to enhance its flavors?

The Razor cocktail is best served cold in a lowball glass to enhance its flavors. Pouring the raspberry rum over ice and then topping up with lemon-lime soda helps to cool the drink down quickly and melds the fruity raspberry with the citrusy soda, creating a refreshing and flavorful experience.

Dietary considerations icon

Is the Razor suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

Yes, the Razor cocktail, made of raspberry rum and lemon-lime soda, is generally suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. However, it's always recommended to check the specific brand of raspberry rum used, as some alcoholic beverages may use animal-derived ingredients or processing methods.

Customization ideas icon

How can the Razor cocktail be customized for different tastes?

To customize the Razor cocktail, you can try adding a splash of fresh lime juice for extra tartness or a few raspberries muddled at the bottom of the glass for added berry flavor. For a sweeter drink, a dash of raspberry syrup can enhance the raspberry notes. If you prefer a less sweet, more spirit-forward cocktail, increasing the raspberry rum quantity slightly while reducing the lemon-lime soda can also alter the drink to suit your taste preferences.
