Equipment

I use a few basic items to make this cocktail. The most important tool is a cocktail shaker. I also reach for a muddler to crush the raspberries.
A jigger helps me measure the vodka and other liquids. I pour the drink into a highball or Collins glass. If I want clear ice, I use large ice cubes or an ice ball mold.
A fine mesh strainer can remove raspberry seeds when pouring. A long spoon stirs in the soda water at the end. These items are easy to find in most kitchens.

Ingredients

For the Raspberry Vodka Fizz, I choose:

6-8 fresh raspberries
2 oz vodka
1 oz fresh lemon juice
0.75 oz simple syrup
Club soda
Ice cubes
Lemon wheel or extra raspberries for garnish optional

Instructions

I start by placing the raspberries and simple syrup in a shaker. I use the muddler to press the berries until they are broken down.
Next, I add the vodka, lemon juice, and some ice. I shake for about 15 seconds to chill everything.

I strain the mix into a glass filled with fresh ice, using a fine mesh strainer if I want a smoother drink. Then, I top with club soda and gently stir with a long spoon.
To finish, I add a lemon wheel or a few more raspberries as garnish. I serve the drink right away while it is cold and bubbly.

Notes

If I want a sweeter drink, I add a little more simple syrup. For a stronger fruit flavor, I use more raspberries.

For a stronger fizz, I pour the club soda just before serving and avoid stirring too much. If I do not have fresh lemons, bottled lemon juice works, but the taste is not as bright.

Frozen raspberries will make the drink colder and a bit thicker. I try to use clear ice to keep the drink fresh-looking. I avoid tonic water, which adds bitterness and hides the raspberry flavor. If I need to make it ahead, I wait to add club soda until serving.

Tasting Notes

When I take my first sip, I notice the gentle sweetness from the raspberries. The fruit flavor is fresh but not too overpowering. The vodka adds a subtle kick but does not mask the berries.

There is a slight tartness from the lemon juice, which helps balance the sweetness. The fizz from the soda water feels refreshing and light. I get a clean, crisp finish.

Flavor Highlights:

Fresh raspberry
Hint of citrus
Mild alcohol warmth

I find that the color is a pretty pink. The bubbles add a playful touch and make the drink lively in the glass.

Each ingredient stands out in its own way, giving the drink a simple, easy-to-enjoy taste.

Substitute

Sometimes I run out of an ingredient or want to try something new. Here are options I use when making Raspberry Vodka Fizz.

If I don’t have vodka, I pick gin for a different taste. Rum makes the drink a little sweeter.

Raspberries aren’t always in season. I can use blackberries, strawberries, or even frozen mixed berries.

For the fizz, if club soda is missing, I use sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Lemon-lime soda adds a bit of sweetness, while sparkling water keeps it less sweet.

If the recipe calls for simple syrup and I’m out, I mix equal parts sugar and water and stir until it dissolves. Honey or agave syrup also works but changes the flavor a bit.

I use these basic swaps to adjust the drink to what I have at home. This can help when I need to make quick changes.
