Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 3 cups sparkling water or club soda, chilled
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the raspberries, diced mango, honey, and fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth and the mixture has a vibrant, fruity aroma.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the seeds and pulp. You’ll be left with a smooth, tangy fruit base.
- Fill four glasses with ice cubes. Pour the fruit mixture evenly into each glass, filling about a third of each glass.
- Top off each glass with chilled sparkling water or club soda, giving the drink a delightful fizz.
- Gently stir each drink to combine, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- If you don’t have fresh raspberries or mango, you can use frozen fruits. Just be sure to thaw them slightly before blending.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the amount of honey or agave syrup.
- For a festive touch, rim the glasses with lime juice and dip in sugar before adding the drink.
- Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Refrigerate any remaining fruit base in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before using again.
- If fresh limes are unavailable, you can use bottled lime juice, although fresh is always best.
- Swap honey or agave syrup with simple syrup if you prefer a more neutral sweetener.
Pairings and Complements:
- This spritzer pairs beautifully with light snacks like a mixed fruit platter or a cheese and cracker assortment.
- For a heartier option, serve with a fresh summer salad or grilled chicken skewers.
- Balance the fruity notes with a tangy dessert like lemon bars or a fresh berry tart.
