Start by combining raspberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Cook until raspberries release their juices, about 5 minutes.12 oz. package frozen raspberries

While waiting for that to cook, squeeze your limes and grate your zest.
Pour the lime juice and zest into the raspberry mixture and cook until slightly thickened, another 5 minutes. Then strain the syrup into a bowl to get rid of seeds.
It will look about like this after that point. Let it cool completely and when ready to serve, mix 3/4 cup club soda with 3 tablespoons syrup. I used all of the syrup and combined it with a 2 liter bottle of club soda and it tasted good that way. Add limes and ice and you are good to go. I think this would also be good with water for more of a raspberry lemonade taste. I also wanted to try making a peach or strawberry syrup for lemonade. Everyone at the dinner must have loved it because I took nothing home.
that was such a good drink. Thanks for sharing it :)
