This Raspberry Lemon Sparkler is a refreshing and vibrant drink perfect for warm days, combining the tartness of fresh lemon juice with the sweetness of raspberries, enhanced by cooling mint leaves and fizzy club soda.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 3/4 cup Lemon Juice (about 4 large lemons)
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Herbs

  • 10 – 12 whole mint leaves

Others

  • 1 quart club soda
  • Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lemon juice: Squeeze the juice from about 4 large lemons to yield 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired for a smoother drink.
  2. Muddle raspberries and mint: In a large pitcher, gently muddle 1/2 cup fresh raspberries with 10-12 whole mint leaves to release their flavors without pulverizing them completely.
  3. Add lemon juice: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into the pitcher over the muddled raspberries and mint, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
  4. Mix with club soda: Slowly add 1 quart of chilled club soda to the pitcher, stirring gently to keep the bubbles intact and blend the ingredients.
  5. Serve over ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the raspberry lemon mixture over the ice. Garnish with additional raspberries and mint leaves if desired for presentation and an extra burst of freshness.

Notes

  • For a sweeter drink, add a simple syrup or honey to taste before adding the club soda.
  • Use sparkling water as a substitute for club soda for a less salty option.
  • This drink is naturally low in calories and perfect for a refreshing summer beverage.
  • To make ahead, prepare the lemon juice and muddled raspberry-mint mixture separately and combine with club soda just before serving.
