Notes

Measurements:
If you want to measure out your ingredients in tbs and cups.
  • .25 cups of lime juice
  • 1 tbs of raspberry simple syrup
  • .5 cups of seltzer water.
Variations:
  • If you don't want to boil and make your own raspberry simple syrup, you can just muddle about 5 raspberries with .74 oz of simple syrup in a cocktail shaker or jar before adding your other ingredients.
  • You can also build this whole drink in a cocktail shaker instead of the glass if you want.  Add ice to the shaker, add the ingredients, shake well then strain into the glass.  If you don't have a shaker, you can mix in any jar with a lid.
