Instructions

In a small saucepan, mix together the raspberry simple syrup ingredients (1/2 cup of raspberries, water, and sugar). Bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for roughly 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture has thickened a bit.

Let cool for 5 minutes and then puree in a blender or food processor. If desired, you can strain the mixture to remove the berry seeds.

To make the mojitos: in 2 glasses, pour 1/2 cup of the raspberry puree. Place 8 mint leaves and 2 lime wedges into each glass and muddle to release the flavors. Top each glass off with ice and fill to the top with the club soda.

Garnish with extra raspberries and mint and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Muddle Raspberries Gently 🫐
Press raspberries lightly against the glass with a wooden muddler to release juice without crushing seeds, which can create bitterness and grittiness in your drink.
Make Raspberry Syrup Ahead ⏰
Prepare your raspberry syrup 1-2 hours in advance and chill it thoroughly; this intensifies the flavor and ensures a perfectly balanced, refreshing drink without dilution from fresh fruit.
Mint Leaf Selection Matters 🌿
Use only the tender top leaves and stems of mint, as larger mature leaves contain more oils that can turn bitter when over-muddled; fresh, young mint provides cleaner, brighter flavor.
Chill Your Glass First 🧊
Pre-chill your serving glass with ice for at least 2 minutes before assembling; this maintains the optimal drinking temperature and prevents the drink from warming too quickly.
Balance Lime Juice Precisely 🍋
Use fresh-squeezed lime juice and taste as you go—the acidity should brighten the raspberry sweetness without overpowering it, typically needing about 0.5 oz per drink.
