Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 4 tablespoons simple syrup
- Sparkling water, to top
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Mint leaves or extra raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle Raspberries: Place half a cup of fresh raspberries in a glass and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush them until they release their juice and become pulpy.
- Add Lime Juice: Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice to provide a bright, citrusy flavor that balances the sweetness of the raspberries.
- Add Simple Syrup: Pour 4 tablespoons of simple syrup into the glass and stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Finish with Ice and Sparkling Water: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink, then top it off with sparkling water to add a bubbly, refreshing finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Add a few mint leaves or extra raspberries on top for a decorative and aromatic touch before serving immediately.
Notes
- To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water, heat until the sugar dissolves, and let cool.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preferred sweetness.
- This drink is best served fresh to enjoy the effervescence of the sparkling water.
- For a boozy version, add a shot of vodka or gin.
