Puree raspberry and strain the seeds add the liquid? Think fruit...mango, papaya...bring it up to the next level!
boozy? Maybe vodka? I once made some weird concoction I found off of idrink.com with milk, seltzer and vodka. It was actually pretty good. Plus, I'm thinking how a white russian also mixes cream and vodka well.
Could this be made boozy? How?
doogh is great! especially over ice during the hot summer!
