Raspberry Womanhattan
This recipe is adapted from Ryan Magarian, the Seattle-based cocktail consultant behind Liquid Kitchen (www.kathycasey.com/liquid_kitchen). He recommends pairing this cocktail with Braised Short Ribs with Potato Gratin with Horseradish and Parmesan . The drink's luxurious sweetness and body both stand up to the meat and temper the burn of the horseradish. For expert advice on pairing cocktails with food, click here.
