I just made this and I'm really enjoying it! It is indeed tart, but in a good way (I heart lime juice big time). Plus, you can dial in the tartness based on how much fizzy water you add. I found this yielded 1 cup of the syrup. Syrup can easily be stored to use at your leisure.

This was one of the drinks served at our nonalcoholic "bar" at our corporate picnic this year. The bar served 7 drinks and this was in the top 3. The bar used diet Sprite and that seemed to give it a perfect balance of sweetness. The mixologist also neglected to strain the raspberries, however, it was actually just as nice finishing off the fruit in the bottom of the glass. Great nonalcoholic drink!

This was indeed a refreshing beverage. It is very sour; I needed to add quite a bit more sugar than the recipe called for. I used sparkling water, which I would do again. My daughter especially enjoyed this. I thought it was very tasty and would make this again.
