Tips
Gently muddle raspberries to release juice without crushing seeds excessively
Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for optimal flavor
Chill glasses before adding ice for longer-lasting coolness
Good to Know
Prepare maple syrup and lime juice up to 1 day ahead. Muddle and assemble immediately before serving for best flavor and carbonation.
Serve immediately over ice while soda water is effervescent. Garnish generously with fresh mint sprigs and raspberries.
Common Mistakes
Over-muddle raspberries to avoid cloudy texture and bitter seed flavor
Use warm or room-temperature rum to avoid over-dilution when melting ice
Add soda water last to prevent loss of carbonation
