Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

1 cup club soda

1/4 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice (about 3-4 key limes)

1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Ice cubes

Lime slices, for garnish

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and simple syrup. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.

    Mix the Soda: In a large glass or mixing pitcher, combine the raspberry puree with freshly squeezed key lime juice and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.

      Add the Club Soda: Slowly pour in the club soda while gently stirring to combine, being careful not to shake or lose carbonation.

        Serve it Up: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the raspberry-key lime mixture over the ice, filling the glass to the brim.

          Garnish: Top the drink with lime slices and a few whole raspberries. Add a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing finish.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick, and savor the refreshing flavors!
