Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cup fresh lemon juice from about 4 to 5 lemons
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste or use simple syrup
- 3 cup cold water
- 3 cup ice cubes
- 4 slice lemon for garnish
- 8 leaf fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl or pitcher, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Lightly mash with a muddler or spoon until the berries release their juices.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove seeds (optional for a smoother drink).
- Add cold water to the pitcher and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed.
- Fill glasses with ice, pour in the raspberry lemonade, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint.
- Serve immediately. For a fizzy version, replace 1.0 cup water with chilled sparkling water just before serving and stir gently.
Notes
Make it ahead by chilling the raspberry-lemon base without ice for up to 24 hours; add water and ice just before serving. Swap sugar for honey or simple syrup to taste. For an adult twist, add a splash of vodka or gin.
