- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- Garnish each cocktail with a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint leaves for an added touch of color and flavor.

Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the best flavor and experience, make sure your raspberry tea is thoroughly chilled before mixing. You can brew it in advance and let it cool in the refrigerator.
- Choose Quality Tonic Water: The tonic water you select can significantly impact the taste of your cocktail. Opt for a high-quality tonic that complements the raspberry tea without overpowering it.
- Experiment with Garnishes: While fresh raspberries and mint leaves are classic choices, feel free to get creative! A slice of lemon or a few edible flowers can add a unique twist to your presentation.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, consider adding a splash of simple syrup or honey to the mixture before serving.
- Serve Over Ice: For an extra refreshing experience, serve your cocktail over ice. This not only keeps it cool but also enhances the overall drinking experience.
- Perfect for Batch Making: If you're hosting a party, you can easily scale up this recipe to serve a larger crowd. Just multiply the ingredients accordingly and mix in a pitcher for easy serving.
