Notes
For a smoother drink, strain the raspberry puree to remove seeds before mixing.
Use homemade lemonade for a fresher, customizable flavor or store-bought for convenience.
Chill the sparkling water before serving to keep the drink cold longer.
Adjust the sweetness by adding a little honey or sugar to the lemonade if desired.
For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or gin to each glass.
