# Expert advice:

01 -
  • The combo of muddled raspberries and zesty lemon tastes like summer in a glass.
  • Sparkling water brings fizz without making your mouth sticky, so every sip feels fresh.
02 -
  • Once, I didn’t chill the sparkling water and all the fizz fell flat—never skip that step.
  • Muddling too roughly turns your spritz cloudy and bitter, so gentle is key.
03 -
  • Strain the muddled mixture if serving guests who dislike berry seeds.
  • Lightly bruise the mint for aroma instead of chopping.
