Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
• 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
• 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• Ice cubes
• Fresh raspberries and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by washing the fresh raspberries and mint leaves in cold water.
2. In a blender, combine the raspberries, fresh lime juice, and honey. Blend until smooth, allowing the tangy aroma of the raspberries and lime to fill your kitchen.
3. Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the seeds, resulting in a silky, vibrant juice.
4. Gently stir in the chilled sparkling water, creating a bubbly, refreshing base for your drink.
5. Add ice cubes to four glasses, and pour the Raspberry Mint Cooler over the ice, filling each glass almost to the top.
6. Gently crush the fresh mint leaves between your palms to release their fragrant oils, and add them to the glasses.
7. Garnish each drink with a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint, giving it a final touch of elegance.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the cooling burst of flavor with your loved ones.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Replace honey with agave syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
