Method

How to make Dear Prudence

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill a tall Collins glass, cut one thin lemon wheel, and reserve one raspberry for a short garnish pick.

  2. 02

    Measure the vodka, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, rose aperitif wine, simple syrup, bitters, and three raspberries into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill with ice and shake hard for 10–15 seconds to chill the drink and extract the berry color.

  4. 04

    Fine-strain into the chilled Collins glass so all seeds, pulp, and ice fragments remain behind.

  5. 05

    Secure exactly one thin lemon wheel and one raspberry together on a short discreet pick at the rim.

  6. 06

    Confirm the garnish is modest and the glass exterior is spotless, then serve immediately.
