Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place 1 cup of fresh raspberries in a blender along with the granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice, and blend until smooth.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Discard the seeds and set the smooth purée aside.
Rinse the blender and add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and half of the strained raspberry purée. Blend on low speed until combined and slightly frothy.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, dividing them equally.
Pour the remaining raspberry purée over the ice in both glasses, distributing evenly.
Top each glass with 1/2 cup of sparkling water and then gently layer the cream mixture over the top by pouring it slowly over the back of a spoon.
Stir gently to create a marbled effect or leave as a layered presentation, based on your preference.
Finish with a few fresh raspberries and mint leaves as garnish on each glass, and serve immediately.
