🫧Nutritional Information
Raspberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that can help fight inflammation and provide an immune boost. Lemon juice is known for its vitamin C content, aiding in digestion and skin health. Combining these with hydrating water and nugget ice makes for a refreshing drink that's not only good for your taste buds but your body too.

Production Method:

The key to a perfect glass of raspberry lemonade lies in its preparation and the ice used. Here's how to make it:

1. Puree the Raspberries: Use a blender to puree the raspberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh to remove the seeds.

2. Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the raspberry puree, lemon juice, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

3. Nugget Ice: Add nugget ice to glasses. The chewable, soft texture of nugget ice from your Vividmoo ice maker not only cools the drink faster but also adds a crunchy, fun element to every sip.

4. Serve: Pour the lemonade over the nugget ice, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.

Nugget ice, often referred to as pebble, pellet, or sonic ice, is the secret ingredient to making your raspberry lemonade stand out. Its unique texture makes it incredibly satisfying to chew while ensuring your drink stays chilled longer without getting watered down too quickly.
