Summer is around the bend so all kinds of good drinks should be too! This lemonade is so easy and so good. I love raspberry anything and this is delicious and refreshing. Break out a pitcher at your next party...maybe two pitchers....you’re gonna need it!
Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade
12 ounces raspberries
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 liter bottle sparkling water (I used Perrier)
Place raspberries and the 1/2 cup water into a food processor and pulse until mixture is smooth. There will be seeds to strain, though.
Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down to extract all the berry mixture. Pour lemon juice over the seeds in the strainer over the bowl and continue pressing any raspberry mixture left into the bowl.
In a large pitcher, add the sugar and strained berry mixture. Stir to combine.
Add the bottle of sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
Serve over ice.
Who's thirsty?
Combine the raspberries and
the water in a food processor.
Then run the mixture through a
fine mesh strainer, pressing the
raspberry mixture down.
After you have most of the raspberry mixture pressed through, pour the
lemon juice over the seeds in the
strainer and press down some more.
Add the smooth, seedless
raspberry mixture into a pitcher
with the sugar and stir.
Then add the sparkling water and stir.
Serve it up! So refreshing!
