Refreshing Raspberry Drink

Great drink for a hot summer day or when you want to serve to guests. Refrigerate the sparkling mineral water (or Sprite) before you make the drink so that you can drink it right away!

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!Reply
