Serving Size

Equipment

Large pitcher (at least 64 oz capacity)
Citrus juicer or reamer

Muddler or wooden spoon
Measuring cups
Fine-mesh strainer

Tall glasses for serving
Stirring spoon
Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

2 cups fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 8-10 limes
3/4 cup simple syrup or honey

4 cups cold water
2 cups club soda or sparkling water
Ice cubes

Lime slices and mint leaves for garnish

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

Instructions

Wash raspberries thoroughly and place in a large bowl.
Gently muddle the raspberries to release their juice and flavor.

Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into your pitcher, pressing to extract all the juice.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the pitcher.
Pour in the simple syrup or honey and stir well to combine.

Add cold water and mix thoroughly.
Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour to chill and allow flavors to blend.
Just before serving, add club soda and stir gently.

Fill glasses with ice, pour in the raspberry limeade mixture.
Garnish with fresh raspberries, lime slices, and mint leaves.

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.

Substitutes

If you don’t have all the ingredients for Raspberry Limeade Splash Mocktail, here are some easy swaps.

Fruit Options:

Use blackberries or strawberries instead of raspberries

Try lemon juice if lime juice isn’t available
Frozen fruit works just as well as fresh

Sweetener Alternatives:

Honey can replace simple syrup
Agave nectar offers a good substitute
Stevia works for a low-calorie option

Mint can be replaced with basil for a different herbal note. The garnishes are optional, so feel free to skip them or use what you have on hand.

For a different twist, try using watermelon instead of raspberries and adding a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness.
