Raspberry + lime = WHERE DO I SIGN??????

This is one combo I can’t get enough of. And then just go ahead an include sparkling water? Well, I’m sold. Raspberry Lime Sparkling Water is that fruity treat that quenches your thirst, goes well with a book, and can be enjoyed by the over 21s and the under 21s, so no one’s left out.

Speaking of which, this non-alcoholic beverage is party-perfect, whether you’re hosting or attending. So, if you’re hosting, why not set up a little sparkling water bar and let guests assemble their own? If you want more inspiration, then I’ve included more recipes below.

And if you’re attending the party, this recipe is easy to pack and travel. Prepare the fruity syrup ahead of time and store it in a lidded container in the fridge. I like glass jars, but as long as the lid stays tight, you should be good to go with whatever you already have on hand. Then pack it to go, along with some raspberries and limes (if desired) for garnishing, and lime sparkling water. That’s all there is to it! Partygoers can assemble their own drinks, and you’ve introduced them to something new! (If you think some might want a sweeter drink, you could always take extra sweetener, too.)

However, you choose to sip and savor, let’s get those raspberries simmering!

Raspberry Lime Sparkling Water ingredients

Here are the ingredients to make your own fruity sparkling water recipe!

• Raspberries. Fresh raspberries are amazing!
• Water and ice cubes. You’ll need water to simmer the fruit and ice cubes to cool the drink.
• Sweetener. I use agave nectar in this recipe, however you can also try 100% pure honey, a few drops of liquid stevia, or granulated stevia.
• Lime juice. Fresh is best, however bottled will also work.
• Sparkling water. Lime sparkling water is delicious here!

How to make Raspberry Lime Sparkling Water 

1. In a saucepan, bring water, raspberries, and sweetener to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, or until the raspberries soften and are easily mashed with a spoon or potato masher. Remove from heat to cool.
2. When the raspberry mixture is cool enough to handle, press it through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Press down on the raspberries using the rounded side of a spoon. This will extract as much of the liquid from the pulp as possible. Then add the lime juice to the raspberry liquid and continue to let cool.
3. Spoon 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup raspberry mixture into 8-ounce drinking glasses. Then top with ice cubes and pour sparkling water over the ice. Garnish with fresh raspberries or slices of lime.
4. For best results, do not mix the raspberry mixture and sparkling water together until just prior to serving. Store leftover raspberry juice in a glass jar for up to one week and then add it to a glass with ice, sparkling water, and garnishes when you’d like a refreshing sip.

Notes

• Take your pick of sweetener. I find agave nectar works really well. You can also try 100% pure honey or a few drops of liquid stevia, if desired.
• Add the juice of one lime about 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until you get the right amount of zing!
• Yields will vary. But on average, you’ll have about 1 cup to 1 1/4 cup, or 4-5 servings per batch.
