Quick answer: This raspberry lemon spritz combines fresh raspberry puree, tart lemon juice, and sparkling water for a bright, elegant drink ready in 5 minutes. Perfect for brunch or summer gatherings with minimal ingredients.
Gently muddle raspberries in a cocktail shaker for 10 seconds to release their juices without completely crushing them.
Add lemon juice and simple syrup to the shaker, then fill with ice and shake for about 8 seconds.
Strain the mixture into two tall glasses filled with fresh ice, capturing most of the fruit pulp in the drink.
Top each glass with sparkling water, stir gently, and garnish with a few fresh raspberries on a lemon wheel.
Yes, blend the raspberries with the lemon juice and syrup in a blender, then strain through a fine mesh sieve before pouring over ice and topping with sparkling water.
Mix and strain the raspberry lemon base up to 4 hours ahead, then refrigerate. Add ice and sparkling water just before serving to keep it crisp.
Absolutely. Thaw them first and drain excess liquid so you don't dilute the drink.
