Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 cups cold water
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
• Lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth. The vibrant color and fragrant aroma will be your first hint of the delightful drink ahead.
2. Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the seeds. The smooth raspberry puree should be a beautiful deep red, free from seeds.
3. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar to the pitcher. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. You’ll notice the tangy aroma of the citrus blending with the sweet raspberries.
4. Pour the remaining 3 cups of cold water into the pitcher. Mix everything together until well-combined.
5. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the Raspberry Lemonade Juice into the glasses.
6. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice. The mint adds a fresh, invigorating scent, and the lemon slice enhances the vibrant appearance of the drink.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For a healthier option, replace granulated sugar with honey or agave syrup, adjusting to taste.
• Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.
• For a fun twist, add a splash of club soda to each glass just before serving for a fizzy sensation.
• To make a raspberry limeade version, simply swap out the lemon juice for lime juice.

Storage and Substitutions

• Store any leftover Raspberry Lemonade Juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries can be used. Just make sure to thaw them before blending.
• For a lower-sugar option, use a sugar substitute like Stevia.

Pairings and Complements

• This refreshing drink pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fresh fruit salad, or crispy vegetable sticks.
• For dessert, try serving it alongside strawberry shortcake or lemon bars to keep the fruity theme going.
