Equipment

Muddler: I use a muddler to mash the raspberries and really get that flavor out.
Cocktail shaker or jar with lid: A shaker lets me mix and chill the mocktail thoroughly. If I don’t have one, any jar with a tight lid works.
Measuring cups and spoons: These help me accurately add each ingredient for a balanced taste.

Fine mesh strainer: I prefer using a strainer to remove seeds and pulp for a smooth drink.
Glass: I serve the finished mocktail in a short glass, like a rocks glass.
Spoon or small whisk: I use this to stir in the agave or simple syrup evenly if needed.

Knife and cutting board: Needed for slicing lime wedges and prepping the garnish.
Optional: A small plate and extra lime juice or salt if I want to rim the glass.

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 2 limes
1 tablespoon agave syrup or simple syrup
1/2 cup sparkling water or club soda

Ice cubes
Optional: Coarse salt for rimming the glass
Optional garnish: Lime wheel and mint sprig

Instructions

If I want a salted rim, I run a lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip it in coarse salt on a plate.

I add raspberries and lime juice to the shaker and muddle until the berries are well crushed.
I pour in the agave syrup and fill the shaker halfway with ice.
I cover and shake for about 20 seconds to chill and mix everything.

Over a glass filled with fresh ice, I strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and pulp.
I top the drink with sparkling water or club soda and gently stir.
To finish, I add a few extra raspberries, a lime wheel, and mint for garnish.

Notes

I sometimes adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup to taste.

If raspberries aren’t in season, I’ve tried frozen ones, but I let them thaw completely for better flavor.

Using fresh-squeezed lime juice makes a big difference and helps balance the tartness.

For parties, I double or triple the recipe and prep the fruity base ahead—then add sparkling water just before serving so it stays fizzy.

If I’m short on time, I skip salting the rim or just add a lime wedge for a simple garnish.

I always strain out the seeds for a smoother drink, but leaving some pulp is an option for more texture.

This mocktail tastes best chilled and served right after mixing. That’s just my preference, though—drink it how you like.

Tasting Notes

When I take my first sip of the Pink Raspberry Margarita Mocktail, I notice a burst of tangy raspberry right away.

The taste is bright but not too sour, which is honestly pretty nice.

I can also taste a hint of citrus from the lime, which adds a refreshing crispness.

The sweetness balances out the tang, so it’s not overpowering.

There’s a subtle fizz that makes the drink feel lively.

I enjoy how the flavors blend so that no single ingredient stands out too much.

The mocktail tastes best served chilled over ice.

I find that a salted rim adds a nice contrast to the fruit flavors.

When I’m looking for a drink that’s fresh yet not too sweet, this mocktail is a good choice.

The natural fruit taste makes it enjoyable for me without being too strong.

Substitute

Sometimes, I end up swapping out ingredients or tools when I’m making the Pink Raspberry Margarita Mocktail. Here are a few of my favorite substitutions—just to keep things simple.

Equipment

If I can’t find my shaker, I just grab a jar with a lid. Works fine.
No muddler? The back of a spoon does the trick, honestly.

Ingredients

No fresh raspberries on hand? I go for frozen raspberries or even raspberry puree. Both work.

Out of lime juice? Lemon juice gets pretty close with that tart kick.
For sweetener, honey or simple syrup steps in for agave nectar without much fuss.
If I want it a bit sweeter, lemon-lime soda stands in for club soda.

Instructions

When I’m using frozen raspberries, I thaw them first. That way, they release more juice.
If I’m swapping in lemon juice for lime, I just taste and tweak for tartness. No big deal.
Switching out agave? I add sweetener little by little, stirring and tasting until it’s right.

Using a spoon instead of a muddler, I press gently—don’t want to break the glass, right?

If I need to keep it totally alcohol-free, I just skip any bitters or substitutes and stick with fruit juices and soda. Simple as that.
