Description

Refreshing summer sips get a delightful spin with this raspberry mojito mocktail, blending zesty lime and sweet berries into a non-alcoholic paradise. Cool mint leaves and sparkling water create a crisp, irresistible drink perfect for unwinding with friends.


Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Produce:

  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) fresh raspberries
  • 810 fresh mint leaves

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or simple syrup
  • 1 cup (237 ml) sparkling water or soda water

Serving and Garnish:

  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnish: lime wedges, mint sprigs, or sugar-rimmed glass

Instructions

  1. Crush ripe raspberries and fragrant mint leaves in a mixing vessel, releasing their essential oils and juices together with lime and sweet nectar.
  2. Add crisp ice cubes to a tall transparent serving glass, creating a frosty foundation for the vibrant mocktail.
  3. Transfer the muddled crimson and emerald mixture into the prepared glass, allowing the ingredients to mingle and create a rich, aromatic base.
  4. Gently cascade sparkling water over the concoction, using a delicate stirring motion to integrate the effervescent liquid without disturbing the delicate layers.
  5. Artfully decorate the drink’s surface with a cluster of whole raspberries, a verdant mint sprig, and a zesty lime wedge, transforming the beverage into a visual masterpiece.
  6. Present the refreshing mocktail immediately, inviting guests to savor the harmonious blend of tangy, sweet, and herbaceous flavors.

Notes

  • Gently muddle raspberries and mint to release their full flavor without crushing them into a pulp, which can make the drink bitter.
  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the most vibrant color and sweetest taste, avoiding overripe or mushy fruit that might affect the drink’s texture.
  • Adjust honey or simple syrup to your preferred sweetness level, keeping in mind that raspberries can vary in natural sugar content.
  • For a low-sugar version, replace honey with stevia or use very ripe raspberries that are naturally sweeter, reducing the need for additional sweeteners.
