Ingredients

• 1 can of Dasani Sparkling Water (Tropical Pineapple)
• Two Oranges
• ¼ Cup of Raspberries
• 8 (ish) Large Strawberries, Chopped
• Extra Fruit for Fruit Ice Cubes (optional)

Directions

• The tools you need for this recipe are: A Lemon-Lime Squeezer, A Cocktail Shaker, A Muddler and Ice Cube Trays (optional).
• If youre doing the fruit ice cubes: wash your extra fruit. Then cut the extra strawberries and oranges into small pieces (the raspberries dont need to but cut, because theyre small enough). Then you put one piece in each slot in the ice cube trays and freeze overnight.
• The first thing you should do is prep your drink glasses. Take the glasses you want your drinks to be in, and fill them with ice and cold water. (This will start cool down the glasses and get them ready for the drinks. Doing this will make the glasses colder, and will in turn, allow your drinks to stay cold longer!)
• Take your cocktail shaker and drop in the raspberries and strawberries.
• Take your muddler and muddle these until theyre really fine (a couple of minutes).
• Juice the two oranges into the cocktail shaker and add the Tropical Pineapple Dasani Sparkling Water.
• Now you can take your muddler and gently stir the ingredients together. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT SHAKE THIS. (Since the Dasani Sparkling Water is carbonated it will spray everywhere, no matter how good the seal is on your cocktail shaker.)
• Now you can dump the ice and water you were prepping the glasses with.
• Put in your fruit ice cubes (if using) and strain the mixture in the cocktail shaker into the glass over the ice.
• I had to strain it twice, once through the cocktail shaker, and another time through a sieve to have the drinks be completely clear. If you muddle the strawberries and raspberries well youll have to do this too. If you dont mind having your drinks a little dirty aka with some of the fruit in it, dont worry about double straining them. However, I think theyre really pretty if theyre clear, so I did!
