Orange Berry Coolers - Michael Fletcher

2 cups fresh strawberries                   
2 cups fresh raspberries
2½ cups orange juice                         
½ cup superfine sugar
1 tbsp fresh lime juice                        
club soda

In a blender, mix berries, orange juice, ½ cup sugar and lime juice until smooth.  Force puree through a fine sieve into a measuring cup, pressing hard on the solids.  Chill the puree, covered until cold and then stir in additional sugar to taste if needed.  Fill tall glasses with ice and add enough berry puree to fill each glass by ¾.  Top off the drinks with club soda and stir well.  Garnish with a mint sprig.
