A lively blend of raspberries, lemon, and sparkling water—zesty, refreshing, and perfect for summer gatherings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit & Juice

01 - 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus additional for garnish
02 - 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, approximately 3 lemons

→ Garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine raspberries, lemon juice, and agave syrup in a large pitcher. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to crush the raspberries thoroughly until vibrant and well integrated.
02 - Pour chilled sparkling water into the pitcher. Stir gently to blend the fruit base without deflating the bubbles.
03 - Fill each serving glass with ice cubes. Distribute the raspberry-lemon mixture evenly among the glasses.
04 - Adorn each glass with additional raspberries, a slice of lemon, and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately for optimal refreshment.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The secret is muddling the raspberries so their juice stains the lemon, making the spritz taste like summer itself.
  • It's quick—no cooking, just a swirl of freshness, and everyone can customize their own glass.
02 -
  • If you stir too vigorously, you lose the sparkle—so be gentle!
  • Using warm lemons yields more juice; a microwave zap for 10 seconds makes squeezing easier.
03 -
  • Squeeze lemons directly over the pitcher to catch every drop and any zest.
  • Muddle in a wide-mouthed pitcher for easy berry crushing and cleanup.
