Notes

- Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your raspberries and personal preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute half-and-half with coconut cream or almond milk with a coconut flavor enhancer.
- Serve immediately after assembly to maintain the carbonation and freshness.
- This drink is best enjoyed chilled and is a perfect summer refresher.
