🥤 Ingredients (For 4 Servings)
1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
Juice of 2 fresh limes
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but adds depth!)
2 cups sparkling water (or club soda)
1 cup coconut water (for extra hydration and natural sweetness)
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Lime slices (for garnish)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Raspberry Base
In a small bowl, mash the fresh raspberries using a fork or a muddler until they release their juices.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds (or leave them in for extra fiber if you prefer a more rustic texture!).
2️⃣ Mix the Flavors
In a shaker or large glass, combine the raspberry juice, honey (or agave), lime juice, and vanilla extract.
Stir well until the honey fully dissolves.
3️⃣ Assemble the Mocktail
Fill four glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the raspberry mixture evenly into each glass.
Top each glass with 1/2 cup sparkling water and 1/4 cup coconut water.
Stir gently to combine.
4️⃣ Garnish & Serve
Add a few fresh mint leaves, extra raspberries, and a slice of lime to each glass.
Give it a final stir and enjoy immediately!

🌟 Pro Tips for the Perfect Mocktail
Muddle like a pro! If you love intense flavor, muddle the raspberries directly in the serving glass instead of straining them.
Chill your glasses. Pop your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep your mocktail ultra-refreshing.
Sweetness balance. If you prefer a tangier mocktail, reduce the honey. If you like it sweeter, add a little more agave.
Upgrade with herbal infusions. Add a sprig of fresh rosemary or basil while mixing for an aromatic twist.
Use flavored sparkling water. Raspberry, lime, or even coconut-flavored sparkling water can enhance the overall taste.
Turn it into a frozen treat. Blend everything with extra ice for a slushy-style mocktail!
