Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen organic unsweetened raspberries, defrosted (save the juice)
4 tablespoons agave syrup
1/4 cup water
12-15 fresh mint leaves
3 large limes
2 cups seltzer
ice

Directions

1

In a medium saucepan, mix the raspberries, their juice (if using frozen), agave syrup and mint leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for a few mintues, mashing any whole berries until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
2

Squeeze enough lime juice to measure 1/3 cup (about 2 large limes). Strain the cooled raspberry mixture, mashing well to get all the syrup. (Syrup can be prepared ahead and kept chilled.)

In a pretty pitcher, combine the lime juice, raspberry syrup and 2 cups of seltzer. Add ice and serve with lime wedges to garnish. Recipe easily doubles.
