Time 6h15m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces raspberries (about 64 raspberries)
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 10 small lemons), plus 12 thin lemon rounds for garnish
One 750-milliliter bottle pink sparkling Moscato, chilled
6 large mint sprigs

Steps:

Put 2 raspberries in each compartment of 2 standard 16-cube ice cube trays. Fill the trays three-quarters of the way with cold water. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
Meanwhile, combine the sugar and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Let the simple syrup cool completely, transfer to a container and refrigerate.
When ready to serve, whisk together the simple syrup and lemon juice in a large pitcher. Add the Moscato and stir to combine. Divide the ice cubes among 6 glasses and fill with the Moscato mixture. Garnish with the mint sprigs and lemon rounds.
