- 1/4 cup water

Instructions
- Make the Raspberry Puree: In a blender, combine raspberries, water, and honey or sugar (if needed). Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
- Blend the Lemonade Slushie: Rinse the blender, then add lemonade and ice. Blend until you achieve a slushie consistency.
- Create the Swirl: In clear glasses, alternate pouring the raspberry puree and lemonade slushie in layers. Use a spoon to gently swirl the layers for a marbled effect.
- Garnish & Serve: Top with mint leaves, a lemon slice, or whole raspberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
Taste the raspberry puree and lemonade before mixing to adjust sweetness. Frozen raspberries can be used for extra chill. The raspberry puree can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
