This delightfully tangy and sweet mocktail is a crowd-pleaser that’s ideal for sunny days, family gatherings, or just a creative moment in your kitchen. You’ll love the bright, fruity flavors that capture the essence of summer, making it a must-try for everyone seeking to add a little zest to their beverage lineup.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 cups cold water
• Ice cubes, for serving
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
• Lime slices, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries, lime juice, and granulated sugar. Blend until the raspberries are completely pureed, and the mixture has a smooth consistency.
2. Pour the raspberry-lime mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract all the juice.
3. Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed, ensuring it’s fully dissolved.
4. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Raspberry Limeade over the ice, letting the vibrant pink hue and the tangy aroma delight your senses.
5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime slices for an extra touch of elegance and a refreshing finish.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Substitute granulated sugar with honey or agave syrup for a natural sweetener option.
• For a fun twist, blend in some strawberries or blueberries alongside the raspberries.
• Try adding a splash of sparkling water before serving for an effervescent touch.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate the prepared Raspberry Limeade in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
• If limes are out of season, lemon juice can be a good substitution, though it will alter the flavor slightly.
