Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

1/4 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed, if possible)

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup water

2 cups club soda

Ice cubes

Lime slices (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the raspberries break down, about 5-7 minutes.

    Strain the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jar, pressing the raspberries with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

      Mix the Drink: In a large glass or cocktail shaker, combine the raspberry syrup and key lime juice. Stir well to combine.

        Assemble the Drink: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the raspberry and lime mixture over the ice, then slowly add the club soda to the glass, allowing it to mix gently.

          Garnish and Serve: Add a few fresh raspberries and a slice of lime to the glass for garnish. Top with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Italian soda!
