Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 2 cups club soda
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the raspberries thoroughly and pat them dry.
In a small bowl, mash the raspberries using a fork or a muddler until they are completely broken down.
In a large pitcher, add the mashed raspberries, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the cold water to the mixture and stir to combine.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher or bowl to remove the raspberry seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes, then divide the raspberry mixture evenly between the glasses, filling each about halfway.
Top each glass with 1 cup of club soda, stirring gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime slices if desired, and serve immediately for maximum fizz and freshness.
