1 pound fresh raspberries (often times you can get golden, however, I would steer clear of these, their flavor rarely compares to the red ones)

1¼ quart water

1½ cups Organic Zero

2 limes, cut in half top to bottom

Place Organic Zero in a medium mixing bowl.

Juice limes into the sugar and stir to dissolve.  If it gives you any trouble at this time, warm slightly and it will come round.

Add raspberries and mash into the liquid with a rubber spatula until all are completely broken up.  Let set for 5 minutes.

Pour over cold water.  You can substitute sparkling water if you prefer. 

Whisk to combine

Strain through a medium sieve into a serving pitcher. 

Pour over ice and serve with a lime wedge dipped in Organic Zero and fresh raspberries if you choose.
