Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

1/2 cup fresh key lime juice (about 4-5 key limes)

1 cup sparkling water (or club soda)

1/2 cup simple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

Crushed ice

Lime slices (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Purée: In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and 2 tablespoons of simple syrup. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds and create a smoother purée. Set aside.

    Mix the Key Lime Juice: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the fresh key lime juice with the remaining simple syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

      Combine Ingredients: In a tall glass, add a few tablespoons of the raspberry purée at the bottom. Using a spoon, gently pour in the key lime mixture over the purée.

        Add Ice and Sparkling Water: Fill the glass with crushed ice to the top. Slowly pour the sparkling water over the ice, allowing it to mix gently for a gradient effect while keeping some raspberry purée visible at the bottom.

          Garnish: Top your Italian soda with a few fresh raspberries, a lime slice on the rim, and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

            Serve: Stir gently before drinking to combine the flavors, and enjoy your refreshing Raspberry Key Lime Italian Soda!
