- 12 leaves of hierba buena or mint
- 2 teaspoon of refined white sugar
- ice
- soda
- 50 grams of fresh raspberries
Equipment

- jigger or measuring cup
Tips for Making the Perfect Raspberry Mojito
Here are some tips to ensure that your raspberry drink is perfect:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh raspberries, mint leaves, and lime juice will give your drink the best flavor.
- Muddle the ingredients properly. Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to crush the raspberries. Don’t be shy about it, as the more you crush, the more flavor you’ll get.
- Don’t even think about using the muddler to crush the mint leaves; that would be a terrible idea. Bitter and unpleasant flavors would come out of the mint, so slap it with one hand and titillate it with the spoon in the glass, but don’t even think about pounding it.
