Raspberry Lime Fizz Drink Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 4 tablespoons simple syrup
- Sparkling water, to top
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Mint leaves or extra raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle Raspberries: Place half a cup of fresh raspberries in a glass and gently muddle them until they are juicy and release their vibrant color and flavor.
- Add Lime Juice: Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice to add a bright and tangy element to the drink.
- Mix in Simple Syrup: Pour in 4 tablespoons of simple syrup and stir well to blend the sweetness evenly with the tart berry and lime flavors.
- Add Ice and Sparkling Water: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink, then top it off with sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with fresh mint leaves or extra raspberries for a beautiful presentation and an extra burst of freshness. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet drink.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, use more raspberries or lightly strain the muddled mixture to release juices.
- This drink can be made ahead by preparing the raspberry and lime mixture; add ice and sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy.
- To make it a mocktail or cocktail, add a splash of vodka or gin for an adult version.
- Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for the best flavor.
