Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 4 cups Sparkling water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 whole Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Juice the lemons to extract about 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and raspberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the raspberries break down into a syrup (about 5 minutes).
Remove the raspberry syrup from heat and strain it through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice and raspberry syrup. Stir well to mix.
Slowly pour in the sparkling water and gently stir to combine, ensuring the bubbles are preserved.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling pink lemonade over the ice.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
