Making a homemade raspberry lime drink is a fun and easy way to enjoy a refreshing beverage. This drink is perfect for hot summer days, parties, or just when you want something tasty.

With its sweet raspberries and tangy lime flavor, it’s sure to please everyone. Here’s how to make it step by step.

Ingredients

To make about 8 servings of this delicious drink, you will need:

• 1 pint of fresh raspberries (you can also use frozen raspberries)

• ½ cup of fresh lime juice (about 6 limes)

• 1 cup of sugar (you can adjust this to taste)

• 4 cups of water (divided into two parts)

• Ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Make Raspberry Syrup

1. Start by washing the fresh raspberries under cool water. If you’re using frozen raspberries, there’s no need to thaw them.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water.

3. Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir it gently until it starts to simmer.

4. Let it boil for about 2 minutes. This will help the raspberries break down and release their juices.

5. After boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Blend the Mixture

1. Once the raspberry mixture has cooled, pour it into a blender.

2. Blend at high speed for about 30 seconds until everything is smooth.

3. If you prefer a smoother drink without seeds, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher.

Step 3: Mix with Lime Juice

1. Squeeze the juice from about 6 limes until you have about ½ cup of lime juice.

2. In a large pitcher, combine your raspberry syrup with the lime juice and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to mix everything.

Step 4: Serve Your Drink

1. Fill glasses with ice cubes.

2. Pour the raspberry limeade over the ice in each glass.

3. For an extra touch, you can garnish your drink with some whole raspberries or slices of lime.

Enjoy!

This homemade raspberry lime drink is not only refreshing but also very easy to make. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your taste. If you want some fizz, try using sparkling water instead of regular water for a bubbly version. Feel free to get creative! You can mix in other fruits or even add herbs like mint for extra flavor. Enjoy your delicious raspberry lime drink at your next gathering or just as a treat for yourself!
