   In a small saucepan, combine the syrup raspberries and granulated sugar.

   Ongeveer 1 min

2. 2

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring and mashing the berries with a spoon as they soften.

   Ongeveer 7 min

   Tip van de kok: The goal is to break down the fruit and dissolve the sugar completely to form a simple syrup.

3. 3

   Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes.

   Ongeveer 15 min

   Tip van de kok: Cooling the syrup prevents it from melting the ice too quickly or making the drink warm.

4. 4

   In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the chilled lemonade, orange juice, and cold water.

   Ongeveer 2 min

5. 5

   Position a fine-mesh sieve over the pitcher and pour the cooled raspberry syrup through it, using the back of a spoon to press the pulp and extract all the liquid.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: This step ensures your cooler has a smooth consistency without seeds.

6. 6

   Discard the solids from the sieve and stir the pitcher contents until well combined.

   Ongeveer 1 min

7. 7

   Right before serving, gently pour in the chilled ginger ale and add the thawed garnish raspberries.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Adding the ginger ale last preserves its carbonation for a fizzy drink.
