Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lime juice
- 3 tbsp (45ml) honey
- 6 large fresh mint leaves
- 3 cups (710ml) chilled sparkling water
- 4 fresh raspberries
- 4 sprigs of fresh mint
- 4 lime wheels
Instructions:
- Place the 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries, 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lime juice, and 3 tbsp (45ml) honey in the base of 4 glasses or a sturdy pitcher.
- Use a muddler to press down firmly on the berries until they are broken down into a thick, fragrant pulp.
- Add 6 large fresh mint leaves and press them gently with the muddler to release the aromatic oils without shredding them.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon to ensure the honey is fully integrated and the berry pulp is evenly distributed.
- Fill each glass to the brim with ice cubes.
- Slowly pour the 3 cups (710ml) chilled sparkling water over the ice.
- Using a long spoon, gently lift the raspberry base from the bottom in one fluid motion to create an ombre effect.
- Garnish each glass with one lime wheel, one mint sprig, and one fresh raspberry.
