Ingredients:
- 1 (10 oz.) package frozen raspberries, thawed, with juices

- 2 tbsp granular sugar or sugar substitute
- 1 (2-liter) bottle seltzer water, chilled
- Ice cubes (optional)
Makes 10 Servings
To make the drink base: Puree the raspberries and their juices, ginger and sugar in a blender. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. For each drink, place 4 1/2 tsp of the base in an 8 oz. glass. Add 3/4 cup seltzer and stir rapidly. Add a few ice cubes, if desired, and stir again. Serve at once.
WW POINTS VALUE: 2 (10 3/4 cup drinks)
Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook. I was looking for a special treat for my mom for Mother's day and this drink looked so irresistible to pass up. It was such a nice treat and nice alternative to soda or champagne with nice flavor to it. The vibrant red color and sprightly flavor of this fresh-tasting fruit and ginger drink will make homemade soda fans of everyone. Cheers!
