Tips

Ensure all liquid ingredients are well chilled for the best refreshing shot experience. This also helps maintain the fizz from the prosecco.
For a slightly sweeter shot, muddle the raspberries with a tiny pinch of superfine sugar before adding the liquids.
Serve these shots in small, elegant glasses to highlight their vibrant color and effervescence for a truly impressive presentation.
