1/2 cup any one or mixed fresh berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or chopped hulled strawberries
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup water
, Crushed ice, or ice cubes, and chilled club soda, to taste
Fresh lime slices

1. Place the berries, sugar, and lime juice in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and the berries are very soft, about 5 minutes.

2. Pass through a food mill to remove the seeds, or process in a food processor or blender and then pass through a very fine-mesh strainer. Add about 1/4 cup water to the seeds and strain the seeds more to get all the juices. Return all the juice to the pan and bring to a boil once more.

3. Divide into 2 glasses, add ice and, club soda to taste, garnish with lime slice, and serve.
