Equipment

Ingredients

For the simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and water in a small pot. Heat until sugar dissolves completely, then cool before using.

Instructions

Adjust sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup based on your preference. The mocktail can be prepared ahead of time up to step 7.

    Notes

    The base mixture (without club soda) keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add the club soda only when ready to serve to maintain carbonation.
    For a smoother texture, you can blend the raspberries instead of muddling them.
    Try freezing some of the raspberry limeade in ice cube trays to use instead of regular ice cubes. This prevents dilution as the ice melts.
    For a different flavor profile, substitute blackberries or strawberries for the raspberries.
    For a fancy presentation, rim glasses with sugar. Simply dip the rim in lime juice then in sugar before filling with the mocktail. Kids especially enjoy this sweet touch to their drinks.

    Tasting Notes

    The Raspberry Limeade Splash Mocktail offers a bright and refreshing flavor profile. The first sip delivers a sweet-tart raspberry note that gradually transitions into zesty lime.

    This mocktail has a pleasant balance between sweetness and acidity. The raspberry provides natural sweetness while the lime juice adds a crisp, tangy element that prevents the drink from becoming too sweet.

    Flavor Profile:

    • Primary: Raspberry, lime
    • Secondary: Hint of mint (if added as garnish)
    • Finish: Clean, refreshing

    The carbonation from soda water creates a light, effervescent mouthfeel. Each bubble carries the fruit flavors across the palate, making this drink especially refreshing on hot days.

    Color-wise, the mocktail presents a vibrant red-pink hue that deepens when more raspberry puree is added. This makes it visually appealing in clear glassware.

    When served properly chilled (32-40°F), the flavor notes become more pronounced. Too warm, and the sweetness can overwhelm the delicate balance of flavors.

    Pairing suggestions include:

    • Light appetizers
    • Grilled chicken
    • Summer salads
    • Vanilla desserts

    For a more complex flavor experience, try adding a small pinch of sea salt to the rim of the glass. This enhances the fruit flavors and creates a pleasant contrast.
