Ruby Rapture is refreshing raspberry lemonade with a kick of ginger spice. Grapefruit and ginger flavors work nicely with the agave undercurrent.
Gourmet Garden Ginger Spice Blend can be found in the produce section at your local grocery store. I chose this ginger over fresh ginger for ease of preparation. Feel free use fresh muddled ginger if you prefer. Both will be equally as good in this cocktail.

Sounds delicious! I wonder if we can approximate the Ginger Spice Blend with fresh ginger? What else is in it?
The Ginger Spice Blend was for ease of mixing, but yes, muddling fresh ginger could be exchanged in this recipe. There is always room to play where cocktail recipes are concerned. Have fun!
