Tasting Notes
This bright and bubbly mocktail offers a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. Fresh raspberries add a natural sweetness, while lime provides a zesty kick.
The drink starts with a fruity aroma from the muddled raspberries. Each sip reveals layers of berry notes followed by citrus hints.
Club soda gives this mocktail its signature effervescence. The bubbles create a light, refreshing mouthfeel that makes it easy to drink.
Key flavor notes:
- Sweet raspberry
- Tangy lime
- Light fizz
- Clean finish
The drink’s vibrant red-pink color makes it look as good as it tastes. Ice keeps it cold while diluting none of the flavors.
Mint garnish adds a fresh scent and subtle cooling sensation. The herb pairs well with both the raspberry and lime elements.
This mocktail tastes best when served very cold. The flavors blend together more smoothly as the drink sits for 1-2 minutes after mixing.
Substitute
You can swap the raspberry syrup in this drink with other fruit syrups. Common options include strawberry, blackberry, or peach syrup.
The lime juice can be replaced with lemon juice or orange juice. Each citrus fruit adds its own unique taste to the drink.
For the club soda base, try sparkling mineral water or tonic water. Note: Tonic water has a bitter taste that changes the drink’s flavor.
Sugar-free alternatives:
- Use sugar-free fruit syrups
- Replace syrup with fresh fruit puree
- Add stevia or monk fruit sweetener
The garnish can change too. Fresh mint leaves, citrus wheels, or berries make nice replacements for the standard lime wedge.
Want extra fizz? Ginger ale or lemon-lime soda work well instead of club soda. These options add sweetness, so reduce or skip the fruit syrup.
