That looks delicious! I typically use a traditional method of muddling the mint leaves in the bottom of the glass with cane sugar, then adding a key lime, cut and squeezed, as well as vodka or rum. Then I top it off with a few ice cubes and the club soda. I am not drinking anymore, so now I skip the alcohol now. I ripped my spearmint out of my flowerbed a few years ago, but it showed back up last year, so I am tolerating it again for right now. The people who had the house before me had planted it, and it had gotten completely out of hand. I love the idea of using the raspberry syrup! I canned some this winter and may try a virgin version of your recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Most welcome! I generally adapt on the fly to what I have on hand - and never have key limes unless I've got them for a specific reason - but I'll have to try the traditional method. One of these years my lime tree will set fruit and that will be great.
Controllable mint? Witchcraft! :D
In lawnmower we trust.
(also works for apple mint)

A cup of mint tea with a spoonful of sugar and a squeeze of lime juice is not completely unlike a virgin Mojito.
