- After two weeks, or when your gin has infused to your satisfaction, strain and decant back into the bottle.
- To assemble your cocktail, mix gin, sugar and lime juice in a punch bowl.
- Let sit for 30 minutes or so, then prepare 4 glasses by filling them with crushed ice.
- Fill each glass with 1/4 of the gin mixture and top with plenty of fresh raspberries, to serve!
