Yes, Dakry purposefully spelt the Nanny Ogg way, partly because this is a bit too far from the traditional daiquiri recipe for me to call it that in all good conscience. This serves one, but can be easily scaled up with a little modification.

You will need:
  • A cocktail shaker
  • A sieve
  • A wooden spoon
  • A citrus juicer
  • A glass to drink out of - I prefer a coupe, but you can use one of those stupid spilly cocktail glasses if you like. Or a wine glass. Or even a snifter. Something with a stem so you can hold it by the stem and not warm the drink with your hand is the important point.
  • A saucer wider in diameter than the diameter of the rim of your glass
  • Some ice
  • Some raspberries - 10 or 12, depending on size, use your judgement.
  • A lime
  • Some rum
  • Some Chambord (or other raspberry liqeueueueueuer)
  • Some sugar

Method:
  • Pour a thin layer of sugar onto the saucer.
  • Juice the lime and put the juice into the cocktail shaker, then rub the lime corpse around the rim of the glass, then dip the glass in the saucer of sugar. I refuse to call this "rimming".
  • Push the raspberries through the sieve with the wooden spoon into the cocktail shaker, then wash the sieve.
  • Add half a teaspoon of the sugar from the plate, 15ml of chambord, 60ml of rum, and a lot of ice to the shaker.
  • Shake till the shaker frosts over, then strain through your nice clean sieve into the drinking glass.
  • Enjoy!
The sugar can be upped or downed depending on the sweetness of the raspberries and the acidity of the lime - adjust to taste.

*taps mod mic* Hello, hello, is this thing on?

Excellent. FEAR ME, PITIFUL HUMANS... no wait, this is the mod channel for what again?... so, little chance of the pitiful humans chat working then. No matter. Start as you mean to go on. Expansion to global domination later. Work with what you've got. This, apparently, is what I've got.

Ahem. FEAR ME, PITIFUL HUMANS. This week's challenj is BERRIES. It was proposed by the marvellous [personal profile] donutsweeper, to whom all complaints must be directed. It's the perfect time for such a challenj. Summer is ending and autumn is just barely beginning, and the fruits lie heavy and ripening deliciously on the vine. I'm told that they are also available in our many supermarkets. Berries! They're what's good for you.

Submit to me your recipes for something to do with BERRIES or suffer the consequences, fools.
