Sparkling Beverage Base
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Raspberries
Wash the fresh raspberries thoroughly under cold running water. Gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- 2
Make the Simple Syrup (if using)
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1:1 ratio). Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- 3
Juicing the Lime
Cut the lime in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. Measure out 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and set aside.
- 4
Mix the Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the sparkling water, fresh raspberries, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup (if using).
- 5
Muddle the Raspberries
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mash the raspberries in the pitcher to release their juices and flavor. Be careful not to over-muddle; you want some raspberry pieces to remain.
- 6
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the mixture for about 10-15 minutes to chill. Once ready, pour into glasses over ice, garnishing with additional raspberries or lime slices if desired.
