Irresistible Blushing Lime Berry Spritz

A refreshing, berry-infused cocktail with a zesty lime twist, perfect for summer gatherings or relaxing by the pool.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1.5 ounces (45 ml) vodka
  • 46 ounces (120180 ml) sparkling water (plain or lime-flavored)
  • Ice cubes
  • Berry garnish (whole berries)
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup of fresh berries and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Use a fine mesh strainer to separate the liquid from the berry pulp. Press gently with a spoon to extract as much syrup as possible. Set the syrup aside.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Add 2 tablespoons of the berry syrup and 1 ounce (30 ml) of fresh lime juice.
  4. Pour in 1.5 ounces (45 ml) of vodka. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Add sparkling water to fill the glass, about 4-6 ounces (120-180 ml). Stir again to incorporate.
  6. Add a few whole berries and a lime wedge for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
