Description

The Floradora Cocktail is a sweet, fruity drink made with gin, raspberry syrup, lime juice, and ginger beer. It is garnished with a lime wedge and is typically served in a highball glass.

History

Originally, the drink was made with raspberry syrup, but it now uses a framboise liqueur (raspberry flavored) almost exclusively. There are a number of raspberry liqueurs available; Chambord (black raspberry) is the most common poured into today's Floradora cocktails.
