Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice and lime slices
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 quart sparkling water

Instructions

Simple Syrup

  • To make the mint simple syrup, pulse the sugar and mint together in a food processor, or gently muddle the mint if you don't have one. This helps release the mint's natural oils for more flavor.
  • Transfer the mint and sugar to a small saucepan with the water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from the heat, strain out the mint leaves, and allow the syrup to cool.

Assembly

  • Divide the raspberries between serving glasses and gently muddle them. Add a few lime wedges, then fill each glass with ice.
  • Pour in 2 to 4 tablespoons of the mint syrup and 3 to 4 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, adjusting both to your taste. Top with sparkling water, stir gently, and garnish with fresh mint, lime slices, and a few extra raspberries.
  • Serve immediately while the sparkling water is still bubbly.

Notes

  • This is a simple drink, but let me share a few tips.
  • I used peppermint in my drink, but if you like, you can also use spearmint. There are a lot of varieties of mint and maybe you even have some growing your garden. Use whatever you like!
  • The mint simple syrup can easily be made up to a week ahead of time. If you plan to do this, strain the mint out, and store in an airtight container. I like to use mason jars for mine. Then when you are ready to go, you don't have the extra step of making the simple syrup.
  • Fresh raspberries are best. They are better for flavor and everything. If you cannot get any, or they are out of season, you can also use frozen. Make sure the berries are thawed first, then you can use them.
  • This drink is best served right away after you make them. Don't put them all together and leave them for hours before serving. Once they are combined, they are ready to go!
