Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

  • Optional: 1 cup sparkling water for fizzy variation
  • Optional: 2 oz vodka or gin for alcoholic twist

Instructions

  1. Add raspberries to a blender and blend until smooth
  2. Strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds
  3. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar or honey, and cold water to the pitcher and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved
  4. Add ice cubes and mix well to chill the raspberry lemon breeze
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness if needed by adding more sugar or lemon juice
  6. Optionally stir in sparkling water for a bubbly version or vodka for an adult twist
  7. Pour into glasses and garnish with mint leaves and lemon wedges before serving
  8. Enjoy your homemade raspberry lemon breeze immediately for maximum freshness

Notes

  • You can replace sugar with monk fruit or stevia to make this drink low-carb
  • Use frozen raspberries for a frostier texture without adding extra ice
  • For a vegan raspberry lemon breeze, use maple syrup instead of honey
  • If using sparkling water, add it last to retain the fizz
  • Leftovers can be frozen in molds to make healthy raspberry lemon popsicle
