Inspired by the height of raspberry season, this Raspberry Lemon Sparkler is a Whole30-friendly faux-jito of sorts — combining the bright red berries with fresh mint and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. It’s a refreshing mocktail that can be batch-made for a weekend brunch or a summer gathering.
The raspberry lemon mocktail is simple to make: purée the fresh-squeezed lemon juice with raspberries and mint leaves. Stir in a quart of sparkling water, and serve in a pitcher for a refreshing drink that’s pucker perfect without the crazy additives. You can easily double the fruit and mint and have extra fruit purée at the ready to stir up another pitcher.
This raspberry lemonade drink is a great non-alcoholic option for backyard barbecues, 4th of July parties or just to have on hand as a refreshing drink for warm summer nights.
