Preparation
Step 1
In the bowl of an electric blender, puree together the thawed lemonade can with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 bag of thawed raspberries (just make sure to take them out of the bag, do not put the bag in the blender).
Step 2
If you don't want the seeds to be present in your lemonade, you can strain the syrup through a cheese cloth or sieve pressing on the seeds to get as much syrup through as possible. Discard leftover seeds.
Step 3
Just before your party, combine the raspberry lemonade mixture with your club soda in your punch bowl and toss in fresh raspberries and lemon slices for prettiness.
Step 4
Note: If you want to make individual cups, add ice to a tall glass then top with 1/3 cup of raspberry syrup and gently pour in 1 cup club soda then toss in some raspberries and a slice of lemon for vacation effect.
