# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • This secret: muddling raspberries with lemon juice unlocks a bold rush of flavor you can’t get any other way.
  • It’s become my go-to because it feels festive yet is so easy, and everyone—from kids to adults—grabs a second glass.
02 -
  • If you add the sparkling water too early, it loses its fizz—always wait until the last step before guests arrive.
  • Muddling the raspberries thoroughly is what makes every sip pop; skimping here leaves the flavor dull.
03 -
  • Always add sparkling water after muddling and mixing everything else for maximum bubbles.
  • Tapping mint leaves gently before garnishing releases their fragrance and elevates the flavor.
