Made it with raspberry puree as fresh fruit was not at hand. Light, well-balanced, drinks like the review and a welcome summer refresher.

Cannot abide Raspberry so cannot give a personal judgement but my wife liked this one - though much better with a shot of simple syrup as I use unsweetened Cranberry juice
