Raspberry Caipirinha
"This is a refreshing and sweet berry variation of Brazil's national cocktail, the Caipirinha, which includes the traditional lime juice but uses fresh raspberries in place of the lime. It's a great change to the classic lime cocktail that's worth trying when raspberries are in season. The recipe is fairly basic and can be found on a variety of websites, but I found this version on the About.com site."

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
