Preparation
  1. In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Blend until smooth.

  4. Serve over ice, and garnish with additional raspberries or lemon slices if desired.

Notes

For a herbal twist, consider adding mint or basil. You can also substitute some of the water with coconut water for a tropical flavor.
