The Raspberry Limoncello at Coletta in NYC and At-Home Recipe
The Raspberry Limoncello at Coletta in NYC is one of our most commonly ordered cocktails for a reason: its stunning appearance and bright, lovely flavor offers something for everyone!
This accessible, crowd-pleasing beverage starts on a foundation of cruelty-free vodka. Unlike other restaurants and bars, which typically use cheaper liquors– most of which profit from animal by-products– Coletta uses only the highest-quality vegan vodkas in this cocktail.
From here, lemon liqueur and raspberry puree combine to add a sweet and sour flair. A dehydrated raspberry rim completes this beautiful beverage with a final burst of flavor, setting it apart as one of the most spectacular on our already unforgettable menu.
At its core, no cocktail is greater than the quality of its ingredients. Though it is difficult to source the same level of ingredients as the staff at Coletta, that doesn’t mean you can’t recreate some of the main flavors of this dish right from the comfort of your own home.

Ingredients
- 2 ounces of fresh raspberry juice
1 ounce of Limoncello
1 ounce of vodka
1/2 ounce of raspberry simple syrup
- 1/2 ounce of lemon juice
Splash of club soda
Raspberry sugar (for the rim)
Instructions
- In a shaker, combine the raspberry juice, Limoncello, vodka, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Top with ice, close the shaker and shake the contents vigorously for thirty seconds.
- Select your favorite highball glass, and decorate the rim with homemade raspberry sugar. Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice.
- Finally, carefully pour the cocktail into the glass. Top it with a final splash of club soda and gently give it a final sitr. Serve immediately to enjoy the drink iced and chilled.
Homemade Raspberry Sugar
It’s not hard to find special cocktail garnishes in a specialty store, but there’s no replacement for a homemade option. To maintain full control over the flavors of your new-favorite-cocktail, try your hand at this homemade raspberry sugar recipe.
Once this sugar is complete, save it in an airtight jar. Then, feel free to use it in as many ways as possible: in your afternoon hibiscus tea, atop your favorite cookies, or on any drink as you continue to experiment with different cocktail blends.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of granulated white sugar
1/3 cup of frozen raspberries (partially thawed)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your cooking space. Preheat your oven to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. As it warms, top a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Place all the partially-frozen raspberries into a sieve. Using the back of a spoon, gently press the raspberries against the sieve, squeezing out the juices into a separate cup.
- Combine the juice and sugar. Stir until fully combined.
- Place the sugar into a thin layer across the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the oven for around thirty minutes or until the sugar has fully dried out.
- Remove the sugar from the oven, use a fork to break apart the clumps, and wait for the sugar to cool completely before storing.
