Ingredients
  

For the Base

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rimming your glasses with sugar for an elegant touch. Run a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into a plate of sugar.
  2. In a blender, combine the raspberries with 1/4 cup of water and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  3. In a pitcher, mix the raspberry puree, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  4. Add vodka to the mixture and stir gently until combined.
  5. Pour in the sparkling water just before serving and stir gently to maintain fizz.
  6. Fill glasses with ice, pour the raspberry lemonade over, and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint.
