Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey (or sugar)
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a blender, combine the raspberries, water, lemon juice, and honey (or sugar). Blend until smooth.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the raspberry mixture into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove the seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Divide the strained raspberry mixture evenly between the two glasses.
Top each glass with sparkling water and gently stir to combine.
Garnish with mint leaves and a fresh raspberry, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Raspberry Refresher!
