Cocktail Colin says:
The Raspberry Lynchburg cocktail presents an intriguing balance of bold whiskey and the delightful tartness of raspberry liqueur, creating a complex fruit-forward experience that's both refreshing and robust. The addition of lime juice and lemon-lime soda injects a bright, effervescent quality that cuts through the sweetness, making it a dynamic choice for those who enjoy a spirited yet fruity drink with a twist.
Method
How to make a Raspberry Lynchburg
-
- Begin by vigorously shaking the whisky, sugar syrup and lime juice, along with some ice in a cocktail shaker
-
- Continue this action for about 10-15 seconds, or until the surface of the shaker feels frosty
-
- Next, carefully strain this mixture into a glass that's been filled with fresh ice
-
- Afterward, gently top off the concoction with your choice of lemonade or lime-lime soda, pouring slowly to maintain the layers
-
- Delicately drizzle the raspberry liqueur over the top of the drink
-
- As the liqueur sinks, it will create beautiful, colored streaks throughout the beverage, enhancing its appeal

FAQ's
What is the origin of the name 'Raspberry Lynchburg'?
The name 'Raspberry Lynchburg' likely derives from Lynchburg, Tennessee, the location of the Jack Daniel's distillery, which is renowned for its whiskey. The 'Raspberry' portion of the name indicates the key flavoring ingredient, highlighting the fruity twist this cocktail offers on traditional whiskey-based drinks.
Can I use a different type of whiskey in a Raspberry Lynchburg?
Yes, you can use different types of whiskey in a Raspberry Lynchburg to suit your taste or availability. While the original recipe may suggest a particular style or brand, experimenting with different whiskeys (e.g., Bourbon, Rye, Scotch) can add unique flavors and nuances to the cocktail.
What can I use as a substitute for raspberry liqueur if I don't have it?
If you don't have raspberry liqueur, you can substitute it with other fruit liqueurs such as Chambord or a berry-flavored syrup as a non-alcoholic option. For a homemade alternative, muddle fresh raspberries with a bit of sugar or simple syrup.
Is it necessary to use fresh lime juice in the cocktail?
While bottled lime juice can be used for convenience, fresh lime juice is recommended to achieve the best flavor profile in the Raspberry Lynchburg. Fresh lime juice provides a brighter, more vibrant taste that complements the whiskey and raspberry flavors.
How can I adjust the alcohol content if it's too strong or too mild?
To adjust the alcohol content in a Raspberry Lynchburg, you can vary the amount of whiskey and raspberry liqueur according to your preference. Decreasing the liquor quantities will make the drink milder, while increasing them will make it stronger. Alternatively, adjusting the volume of lemon-lime soda can also dilute or concentrate the drink.

Made this drink and it is very nice. After noticing that the Lime Juice was not specified in the directions, I did a quick search and found a recipe showing the first 3 ingredients listed as Whisky, Lime Juice, and Sugar Syrup. The rest of the recipe directions were the Lemon-lime soda and the raspberry liqueur. Made a second cocktail and it was also great. Regards.
Ahhh good spot, we've changed the method now to be more descriptive (and accurate). This is a great recipe!
