Light & refreshing. Could use just a tad bit more sugar. Thank you! -
So delicious! I really love the way the flavor of the mint came out after being heated with the water and sugar. I used lemonade. It was wonderful! Thanks for sharing! -
Wow1 This is GOOD. I used Sprite"0" instead of club soda. I think next time I will strain it or it needs to be served with spoons. LOL. Made for Comfort Cafe summer 09. -
I loved this fruity refreshing drink!!! I used the frozen raspberries, sprite zero instead of the club soda and frozen lemonade. I also left out the mint leaf, as I didn't have any on hand, but do like it!! Thanks for sharing twissis and congrats again on your win in the football pool!!! -
FANTASTIC! I loved this. I used sprite instead of club soda and left the mint leaves out. (Not much of a mint fan). This would be perfect as a party punch. I was making it only for myself and didn't think it would be possible to scale the recipe back very easily, so I just made up the whole thing. I filled my glass with ice and the raspberry mix and just topped it off with sprite -- just eyeballed it no measuring. I really enjoyed this and it's perfect to sip on while I'm doing some cooking and sitting around the house. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Twissis!! This is a keeper for sure.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
