Method

Step 1: Make the Simple Syrup

Combine Sugar and Water: In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

Cool Down: Remove from heat and let it cool. Store any leftover syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Step 2: Prepare the Cocktail

Muddle Raspberries: In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh raspberries. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the raspberries to release their juices.

Add Ingredients: Pour in the vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker.

Shake It Up: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.

Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top it off with club soda, giving it a gentle stir to combine.

Garnish: Add a few fresh raspberries on top for garnish.

Step 3: Enjoy!

Take a sip of your Raspberry Fizz, and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavor!

Variations

Non-Alcoholic Version: Omit the vodka and replace it with more club soda or lemonade for a refreshing mocktail.

Different Fruits: Try using strawberries or blackberries instead of raspberries for a unique twist. You can also mix different berries for a delightful berry fizz!
