Clean and rinse the raspberries, then place them in a very large bowl.
Pour the lemon juice over the berries. Use a large spoon to stir the juice into the berries.
On the stovetop, heat 12 cups of water and 3 cups of sugar to a boil. Stir till the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
Pour the boiling water over the raspberries. Allow the water to cool for 1-2 hours to room temperature.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel that you don't mind staining. Place in the refrigerator to steep for 24 hours.
Pour the cordial through a fine mesh sieve to strain.
Push gently on the solids with the back of a spoon, if you wish, to extract more juice. This will produce a slightly cloudy effect in the cordial, which will settle at the bottom of the storage bottle, but it won't change the flavor. If you'd prefer a clearer cordial, do not press down on the solids-- just strain them.
Add Cape Floral, Lemon Apertif and 1 oz of cordial to a shaker or jar with ice and shake hard for 15 seconds.
Strain off the ice, remove the ice from the shaker, and pour the mixture back into the shaker.
Shake again without ice (dry shake) to achieve a creamy, frothy texture.
Strain through a fine strainer into a chilled coupe glass.
Garnish with a fresh raspberry and enjoy.
