Ingredients You’ll Need

Raspberry Lime Fizz:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 cups sparkling water or club soda
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Fresh lime slices for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish

How to Make Raspberry Lime Fizz

Step 1: Mash the Raspberries

Place the fresh raspberries in a small bowl along with the granulated sugar. Use a sturdy fork or a muddler to mash everything together until the berries are juicy and you can see a lovely, thick red sauce forming. The sugar not only sweetens the berries but also helps draw out their juices, setting the stage for our luscious Raspberry Lime Fizz base.

Step 2: Strain for a Silky Base

Set a fine mesh sieve over another bowl or a large measuring cup and pour the raspberry mixture through. Press with the back of a spoon to extract as much deeply-colored liquid as possible, leaving seeds and pulp behind if you prefer a clearer drink. If you love extra raspberry flavor and don’t mind some texture, you can skip this step and pour the entire mixture straight into your pitcher.

Step 3: Mix in Lime and Sparkling Water

Transfer the vivid raspberry juice to a pitcher. Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice, followed by the sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine—don’t overdo it or you’ll lose some of that wonderful fizz! Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed, adding a little more sugar or a splash of simple syrup to suit your preferences.

Step 4: Serve Over Ice and Garnish

Fill your glasses generously with ice cubes, then pour the raspberry-lime mixture over each one. Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a few fresh mint leaves. This not only makes your Raspberry Lime Fizz look picture-perfect but adds that final touch of aroma and style. Serve right away to enjoy every bubbly, invigorating sip!

How to Serve Raspberry Lime Fizz

Garnishes

A classic garnish for Raspberry Lime Fizz is a wheel or twist of fresh lime and a delicate sprig of mint—simple but effortlessly festive. For a special occasion, try sugaring the rims of your glasses or topping each serving with a handful of fresh raspberries for extra pops of color and texture.

Side Dishes

This fizzy drink is absolutely lovely alongside light, summery foods. Pair it with a platter of finger sandwiches, fresh fruit salad, or a crisp summer salad for a brunch or luncheon spread. Its sweet-tart profile also makes it a refreshing palate cleanser between richer appetizers or grilled fare.

Creative Ways to Present

Pour Raspberry Lime Fizz into vintage glassware or mason jars for a charming touch. You can also freeze raspberries and mint inside ice cubes to add whimsy and keep each glass cold. For parties, offer a DIY bar with bowls of extra berries, lime wedges, and fun straws so guests can personalize their drink.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover Raspberry Lime Fizz, store it in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The fizz will diminish over time, but the flavor remains bright and refreshing. Just give it a gentle stir before serving again.

Freezing

You can freeze the raspberry-lime concentrate (before adding sparkling water or club soda) in an airtight container for up to two months. When ready to serve, thaw in the fridge, pour into a pitcher, and top off with sparkling water right before serving for that signature effervescence.

Reheating

Raspberry Lime Fizz is best enjoyed cold, so no reheating is necessary. If your concentrate feels too chilly from the fridge or freezer, simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before mixing with sparkling water and pouring over ice.

FAQs

Can I make Raspberry Lime Fizz ahead of time for a party?

Absolutely! Prepare the raspberry-lime base a few hours before your event and keep it chilled. Just wait to add the sparkling water or club soda until right before serving so you keep all that wonderful fizz intact.

Is there a way to make this drink sweeter or less tart?

Definitely. Taste as you go and adjust by adding more sugar or a splash of simple syrup for extra sweetness. For a tangier drink, increase the lime juice. Raspberry Lime Fizz is easy to tweak to fit your taste buds!

What’s the best way to make this recipe into a cocktail?

To turn Raspberry Lime Fizz into a spirited sip, simply pour 1 to 2 ounces of vodka or white rum into each glass before topping with the raspberry-lime mixture. It’s festive, bright, and guaranteed to wow your guests.

Can I use frozen raspberries if fresh aren’t available?

Yes, frozen raspberries work beautifully—just let them thaw before mashing with sugar. They’re a great option when fresh berries are out of season, and will still give you great color and flavor.

How can I make the drink extra bubbly?

Make sure your sparkling water or club soda is well chilled and only add it to the raspberry-lime base immediately before pouring and serving. This guarantees the liveliest fizz for your Raspberry Lime Fizz moments!

Final Thoughts

Every glassful of Raspberry Lime Fizz is a celebration—brimming with color, freshness, and just the right sparkle to brighten your day. Try it once, and you’ll find yourself inventing reasons to whip up this irresistible drink all season long. Cheers to new favorites!
