Raspberry mocktail is bright, bubbly, and bursting with the natural sweetness of muddled berries, balanced with a splash of lime and mint. Made right in the glass with no cocktail shaker or special bar tools, it's an effortless non-alcoholic drink that’s as refreshing as it is beautiful, perfect for all your warm-weather gatherings.
Split the blueberries, raspberries, and mint evenly between two glasses.
Gently mash them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the juices. Just press enough to bruise the mint. Don't overdo it, or it can start to taste bitter.
Pour ½ tablespoon of simple syrup into each glass (sweeten to your liking), then squeeze in the juice of half a lime per glass.
Fill both glasses with ice and top them off with 1 cup of club soda each.
Give it a quick stir to mix everything together. Finish it off with a mint sprig and a lime wedge on top, and serve right away.
Notes
If you don't have a muddler, use the back of a wooden spoon or a small rolling pin. Just press the berries to release their juices instead of smashing them into a puree.Chill the soda water before using it so the drink stays bubbly longer.Serve: For parties, set out bowls of fresh berries and garnishes so guests can dress up their own drinks. This pairs beautifully with light, fresh appetizers, savory skewers, or sweet fruit desserts.
