1 In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, bring the sugar, water, and raspberries to a boil (about 5 minutes). Adjust the heat to low and allow the berries to simmer and cook for 3 minutes, or until the berries fall apart and the sugar is dissolved.
2 Set a fine mesh sieve over a glass container. Pour the syrup through the sieve. To make a syrup with no small seeds or pulp, let it drain for about 5 minutes without pressing too much on the raspberries to avoid adding too much pulp.
3 Chill the syrup in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until cool.
4 In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of the raspberry syrup and the lime juice. Fill the pitcher with ice and pour the seltzer over the top. Stir to combine. Serve the raspberry lime rickeys in glasses garnished with lime wedges or rounds. You will have leftover raspberry syrup. Just place the rest back in the fridge for future use.
