This Raspberry Mint Lemonade is another super refreshing drink for the hot days of summer. The addition of the fresh mint leaves gives it a nice and unexpected freshness that blends nicely with the sweetness of the raspberries and the tartness of the lemonade. The best part is that this comes together pretty quickly!
