Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup fresh raspberries (about 75g), washed
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves, gently bruised
- 1 large lime, cut into wedges
- 2 ounces (60 ml) white rum per serving
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or simple syrup or agave nectar)
- 4 ounces (120 ml) soda water per glass, chilled
- Ice cubes, plenty to fill the glass
- Optional: splash of raspberry liqueur
- Optional: fresh berries for garnish
- Optional: mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Place fresh mint leaves and lime wedges into a highball glass. Gently muddle for 20-30 seconds to release oils and juice without pulverizing the leaves.
- Add fresh raspberries and sugar. Muddle gently to break the berries and dissolve the sugar, releasing raspberry juice.
- Pour in 2 ounces (60 ml) of white rum and stir gently to combine flavors.
- Fill the glass almost to the top with ice cubes to chill the drink.
- Slowly pour about 4 ounces (120 ml) of chilled soda water over the ice. Stir gently once more to mix without losing bubbles.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a few whole raspberries. Insert a straw and serve immediately.
Notes
Chill raspberries and mint beforehand to prevent tearing mint leaves. Avoid over-muddling lime to prevent bitterness. Use raw cane or coconut sugar for deeper flavor. Stir gently after adding soda water to keep bubbles. Can omit rum for a mocktail version by adding extra soda water or raspberry juice.
