Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cups sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 slices lemon slices
- 4 leaves mint leaves
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and release their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the raspberry mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds.
In a pitcher, combine the raspberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the raspberry spritzer mixture over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a fresh mint leaf.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
