At the restaurant, they offer it in both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic version (and I've made it at home both ways). It's great either way:
Raspberry Mojito Lemonade
3 raspberries
1 sprig mint
1 slice lime
1 jigger Rose's grenadine (at Red Robin they call it Raspberry Syrup...try finding that in a store. I finally figured out what it was. Duh)
8 ounces Minute Maid Lemonade (the low-cal version works well too; you can get this in the soda aisle)
1 jigger Vodka or Rum, whichever you use for your Mojitos (optional)
Put raspberries and mint in 12-ounce glass. Mush raspberries with spoon, with the mint (don't break up the mint, just press it enough to release the fragrance and flavor). However, break up the raspberries all the way so they'll be little enough to drink. Squeeze lime juice into glass, and leave the lime slice in glass. Add all liquid and stir. Done...drink!
