Tasting Notes
The Raspberry Gin Fizz has a bright, fresh taste with a mix of sweet and tart flavors. Fresh raspberries add natural sweetness and a beautiful pink color to the drink.
Gin brings subtle notes of juniper and botanical herbs that blend well with the fruit. The spirit’s clean, crisp character shines through without overwhelming the other ingredients.
Meanwhile, fresh lime juice adds a zingy citrus kick that balances the sweetness of the berries. The acid helps cut through the richness and brings out the raspberry flavor.
Club soda creates tiny bubbles that dance on the tongue. The carbonation makes the drink light and refreshing, perfect for warm spring and summer days.
Key Flavor Notes:
- Sweet raspberry
- Herbal gin botanicals
- Bright citrus
- Light effervescence
The texture is smooth with a gentle fizz. Each sip starts with berry sweetness, moves to citrus tanginess, and ends with a clean gin finish.
The aroma features fresh raspberries first, followed by subtle juniper and lime scents. These scents enhance the drinking experience and make the cocktail more appealing.
Substitute
You can make this drink without raspberry gin. Regular gin works well. Just add 1 ounce of raspberry syrup or liqueur to the mix.
No fresh raspberries? Frozen ones work just as well. You can also use 2 tablespoons of raspberry jam instead.
For a non-alcoholic version, skip the gin and use:
- Club soda (main portion)
- 2 oz raspberry syrup
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
Want it less sweet? Replace the simple syrup with more club soda. The drink will keep its fizzy texture but have fewer calories.
Need egg white substitutes? Try:
- 2 tablespoons aquafaba (chickpea liquid)
- 1 tablespoon pasteurized egg white powder mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 1 ounce Ms. Better’s Bitters Miraculous Foamer
These swaps create the same foamy top that makes this drink special.
