How Do You Make a Blue Raspberry Lemonade Vodka Spritz?
The recipe is quick to prepare and only needs a few ingredients.
Ingredients – Makes 1 Serving
- 30ml Florida Syrups Lemonade syrup
- 45ml vodka
- 15ml blue raspberry liqueur
- Approximately 100ml freshly carbonated water
- Fresh raspberries or a lemon twist
- Ice cubes
These quantities come from the original Florida Syrups recipe.
Method
- Fill a large wine or spritz glass with ice.
- Add the Lemonade syrup, vodka and blue raspberry liqueur.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Top up with around 100ml of freshly carbonated water.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries or a lemon twist.
- Serve straight away.
The result is a fruity, citrus-led cocktail with plenty of fizz and a vivid blue colour.
What Does a Blue Raspberry Lemonade Vodka Spritz Taste Like?
The drink balances citrus and berry flavours.
Florida Syrups Lemonade provides a crisp lemon base, while blue raspberry liqueur adds sweetness, fruit flavour and colour. Vodka keeps the spirit flavour relatively neutral, so the lemonade and berry notes stay at the centre of the drink.
Fresh carbonation then gives the cocktail a lighter, more refreshing finish.
Can You Make This Cocktail with SodaStream?
Yes.
First, carbonate plain water using your SodaStream or similar home carbonation system. Then use the freshly carbonated water to top up the cocktail.
Do not add the syrup, vodka or liqueur to the carbonation bottle before fizzing. Instead, carbonate plain water first and build the cocktail separately in the glass.
This keeps the method simple and gives you better control over the final drink.
Make It Your Own
The original recipe suggests several easy variations.
Swap Vodka for White Rum
White rum gives the drink a slightly more tropical character while keeping the fruit flavours at the front.
Add a Little Prosecco
A small amount of prosecco can add extra sparkle and turn the drink into more of a celebratory spritz.
Add a Blue Raspberry Sugar Rim
For a more decorative finish, rim the glass with blue raspberry-flavoured sugar before adding the ice and cocktail ingredients.
Start with small changes first, then adjust the recipe to suit your taste.
