Directions

  1. Make the Raspberry Base
     In a mixing bowl, add fresh raspberries, honey, and cold water. Using a muddler, mash everything together until the berries fully break down and the liquid turns deep red.
  2. Strain the Syrup
     Pour the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher, pressing the pulp with a spoon to extract all the juice. Discard the seeds.
  3. Add Lime & Herbs
     To the pitcher, add freshly squeezed lime juice, basil leaves, and mint leaves. Muddle lightly to release the aromatic oils without bruising the herbs too much.
  4. Build the Lemonade
     Add the ice to the pitcher. Pour in chilled club soda until the pitcher is filled to the top. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
  5. Serve
     Pour into glasses, garnish with lime slices, and enjoy immediately while cold and fizzy.

*Notes : 

  • For a stronger herbal flavor, muddle the basil and mint more aggressively or let the lemonade sit for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Replace honey with simple syrup if you want a slightly cleaner, more neutral sweetness.
  • Want it sweeter? Add 1–2 extra tablespoons of honey before straining.
  • If serving to a crowd, keep the club soda separate and let guests top off their glasses for maximum fizz.
