Raspberry Berrete (Mocha Recipie)
A drink that's both easy to make and delicious. Something that you can make any time of year. Balancing creaminess from ice cream, acidity from raspberries and complexity from coffee.
This recipe was submitted for a competition hosted by the barista magazine. I will be posting the link to that as soon as possible. If I get the most likes on their Instagram page I could win some big cash. (so please like away! click here)
When I was contacted for this competition I was re-listening to the album Around the World in a Day by Price and the Revolution. The competition stated that I needed to make a mocha-themed drink using a Ghiradelli product. It could have been blended, alcoholic, anything I could think of. I instantly thought of the song "Raspberry Berrete” and knew I needed to somehow incorporate it into my drink. And that’s how the drink raspberry barrette was born.
