Riverside Spirits Raspberry Gin Liqueur brings the Cheshire preserve-maker's expertise to raspberry — hints of anise, damson and orange linger between the unmistakable raspberry taste. Handmade with natural ingredients at 20%.

Tasting

The nose is bright raspberry. On the palate, sharp-sweet raspberry with anise, damson and orange. The finish is berry fresh.

The Bottom Line

Riverside Raspberry earns a 6 for natural Cheshire raspberry liqueur. Best splashed in sparkling wine, over ice, or drizzled on fruit salad.
