Looking for a proven recipe instead of an experiment if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.

There's another recipe in our database for a raspberry melomel, but it got some questionable feedback. If this one doesn't float your boat, you could probably try one of the blueberry recipes, and just replace the fruit to get you where you want to be.
Edited: I just realized that the recipe I linked doesn't have tasting notes included. Maybe steer clear of that one.
you've probably seen my thread here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f30/my-first-mead-well-melomel-whaddya-think-88924/
And while I will admit it's not proven - it should turn out good (just bottled a few weeks ago). But, I'd cut down on the lime/lemon juice and go with a more aggressive nutrient schedule (read hightest's FAQ's on this forum).
FWIW, in Schramm's book, he says to add the following raspberries in the secondary (for a 5 gallon batch):
mild fruit character - 2-4 lbs
medium fruit - 8-12 lbs
strong fruit - 13 bls or more
good luck and post your recipe and results!
One question for you why would you want a more aggressive nutrient schedule? My first mead I added only at the begining and it did fantastic.
