Every occasion calls for a signature cocktail! I try to name them based on my mood that evening, or depending on what is being served and theme. This concoction was created to persuade everyone to get loose!

If you know me, you know I enjoy a good dinner party or get together. To keep things interesting, I like to add special touches to everyday things. If it's more then 3 courses, I type up a menu. I know it's extra but I would't be Faimy if I didn't do these things.

Creating a signature cocktail for the evening keeps things fun and also creates a conversation point. You can also have the option of allowing your guests to name the drink for the night, that in itself can be quite entertaining. This particular night was with a few new friends and I wanted everyone to loosen up and talk it up. My Raspberry Persuasion is a bit boozy forward, meaning you can feel the booze before you taste it. I would recommend serving this up with delicious appetizers because drinking this on an empty stomach may not be the best idea.

Using fresh raspberries and lime juice was just meant to be. This can be served in any beautiful glass, although I choose to pour it into a chilled martini glass. Pour it up and Enjoy
