Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Cranberry juice
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 3 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cranberry juice, and the cooled simple syrup.
Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the fresh raspberries into the pitcher to extract the juice while discarding the seeds. Alternatively, blend the raspberries and strain if necessary.
Add the remaining 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir everything together until well mixed.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to chill and marry the flavors.
When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Cranrazz Lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cranrazz Lemonade!
