❓ Q & A:
❓ Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen raspberries will work perfectly. Just let them thaw slightly before muddling them.
❓ How can I make it sweeter?
If you like your drink sweeter, you can add more honey or simple syrup to taste. You can also try using agave syrup or maple syrup for a different flavor.
❓ Can I make this mocktail in advance?
Yes! You can muddle the raspberries, mint, and lime ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, just add ice, soda water, and garnish.
❓ Can I add other fruits or flavors?
Absolutely! You can add strawberries, blueberries, or even cucumber for a refreshing twist. A splash of pineapple or orange juice can also give it a tropical flavor.

If you don’t have soda water, you can use still water, lemon-lime soda, or any other sparkling beverage you like for some fizz.
