Welcome sunshine, hiking, outdoor concerts, days at the lake, flyfishing and all things summer in Sun Valley. Summer is a gorgeous time of year to gather to celebrate special events or just create "together" memories. If it's your first time, Welcome. We hope you enjoy exploring the Ketchum and Sun Valley areas including all of the Wood River Valley.
Your day may have started early with the sunrise. You may have hiked (or biked) a few miles, or perhaps your day is just begining. Where to grab a bite for lunch in Ketchum quickly becomes the most important thing.
Weekdays starting at 11 am Rasberrys begins lunch service. The seating options are on the patio (outdoor and partially shaded) or the dining room (lower level next to the kitchen.) The first hour of lunch service, from 11 am to 12 pm is the easiest time to be seated. Our busiest time is 1 pm. We end lunch service at 3 pm.
One other way to enjoy Rasberrys made-from-scratch creations and modern Mexican flare is to visit our deli. Every weekday from 11 am to 5 pm, soups, salads, entrees, fresh baked breads and sweet treats are also available for grab-and-go or dinner at home. We also have a selection of wine for a one-stop-shop experience.
If an easy lunch or casual dinner back at the condo is on today's agenda, we have you covered for that too. Visit Rasberrys.net to view the bistro menu. Then call 208-726-0606 to place your order. Be sure to ask about our daily specials - that may change your mind!
We look forward to seeing you soon at the bistro or deli in downtown Ketchum soon!

Homemade Electrolyte Drinks
After workouts and especially during hot Sun Valley summer months hydration becomes an important topic. How are you refueling and rehydrating your body? If you are suspicious of the neon-colored, sugar-loaded options (as you should) on the shelves there’s hope! Whipping up a homemade electrolyte drink is super easy.
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that play a role in controlling heartbeat, balancing bodily fluids and sending electrical impulses to muscles in order to coordinate movement. Sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, phosphate and calcium are the minerals your body relies on most. If you lose electrolytes faster than you can replenish side effects can include muscle cramping or irregular heartbeat. Don’t be that guy! Oh and by the way, food does contain electrolytes too and many of us replenish naturally by drinking water and eating a meal after a rigorous workout.
Let's talk about replenishing your body with natural, whole ingredients without the use of those unnatural dyes and sweeteners.
Coconut water is an excellent base for a homemade electrolyte drink. Add your desired amount of water. Then add 100% natural juice such as orange, lemon, lime, pomegranate or watermelon. (Fresh squeezed is best!) Tea such as ginger, hibiscus or mint could be added here as an alternative to juice for flavor. Try a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Add a natural sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free monk fruit. Add collagen powder, cream of tartar or other powders/minerals of your liking. Lastly, a pinch of salt. Stir and enjoy.
Happy experimenting! Let us know what your favorite recipe ends up being!
