Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 2 cups Cold sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the raspberries thoroughly under cold water and set them aside.
In a blender, combine the raspberries, orange juice, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
If desired, add honey to the blender and blend again to dissolve the sweetness into the mixture.
Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the raspberry mixture into a large pitcher to remove seeds and pulp. Discard the solids.
Add cold sparkling water to the pitcher and gently stir to combine.
Fill two serving glasses halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the citrus raspberry mixture over the ice in each glass.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a few fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshingly tangy Citrus Raspberry Cooler!
