Fizzy Raspberry Lemonade

I am a huge lover of specialty fruit lemonades! From Blueberry Lemonade to Strawberry Lemonade and even Berry Lemonade, there is always a perfectly tart yet fruity lemonade in my hand all summer long!

But of course, it can’t be store-bought fake lemonade that’s filled with dyes and artificial sweeteners. Instead, it has to have REAL fruity flavor, just like this raspberry lemonade that’s made with a 3-ingredient homemade raspberry simple syrup.

Along with the homemade syrup, the real key to this delicious raspberry lemonade is the club soda; it adds a great fizz and makes the drink really sparkle! I also love the raspberries’ pulpiness and how it really brings the bright, fruity flavors to life!

Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade Ingredients

Raspberry Simple Syrup – To ensure this recipe is bursting with the best authentic raspberry flavor, it’s made with an easy-to-make simple syrup. This is made in just 30 minutes by cooking down frozen raspberries with granulated sugar and water.

Lemonade – Pairing with the fruity raspberry simple syrup is the homemade lemonade base! To make this, you’ll need lemon juice; fresh-squeezed is best, as well as cold water, club soda, lemons for garnishing, and ice for serving.

How To Make Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade

1. Prepare the raspberry simple syrup by combining frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, and water in a saucepan.
2. Simmer the syrup mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the berries are bursting.
3. Wash the lemons and then slice them in half. Press the lemons in a citrus press to release their juices into a liquid measuring cup.
4. Remove the homemade raspberry simple syrup from the stovetop and allow it to cool. Then strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove any chunks and pulp.
5. Combine the lemon juice, cooled raspberry simple syrup, cold water, and club soda in a large pitcher. Stir gently to thoroughly combine the lemonade ingredients.
6. Slice two washed lemons and transfer them into the pitcher as a garnish.
7. Serve the Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade in glasses with ice and a straw; enjoy!
