Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz (60 ml) vodka
- 2 medium lemons, juiced (about 1/3 cup or 80 ml fresh lemon juice)
- 1 oz (30 ml) blue raspberry syrup
- 4 oz (120 ml) sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes, enough to fill the glass
- Optional garnishes: fresh lemon slices, fresh raspberries, or a sprig of mint
Instructions
- Juice the lemons using a citrus juicer to get about 1/3 cup (80 ml) of fresh lemon juice.
- In a cocktail shaker or large jar, combine 2 oz (60 ml) vodka, 1/3 cup (80 ml) lemon juice, and 1 oz (30 ml) blue raspberry syrup. Seal and shake well for 15-20 seconds until chilled and fully blended.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over the ice.
- Top with 4 oz (120 ml) sparkling water or club soda and stir gently once or twice to combine without losing fizz.
- Garnish with a fresh lemon wheel, a few raspberries, or a sprig of mint if desired, then serve immediately.
Notes
Do not add sparkling water to the shaker to avoid flattening the fizz. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Adjust syrup amount to taste for sweetness. Use plenty of ice to keep the drink cool and prevent dilution. For a frozen version, blend all ingredients except sparkling water with ice and top with soda. Substitute vodka with gin or rum for variations.
