A vibrant, floral spring mocktail featuring homemade raspberry syrup, a hint of rose water, and sparkling water, garnished with edible flowers. This elegant drink is perfect for celebrations, brunches, or a refreshing afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (about 5 oz)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon rose water
  • 2 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Edible flowers (such as violets, pansies, or nasturtiums), thoroughly washed and organic
  • Extra fresh raspberries (for garnish)
  • Lemon wheels or twists (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and mixture is fragrant (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract liquid. Discard seeds and pulp.
  5. Let syrup cool completely (refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed up).
  6. Fill serving glasses halfway with ice cubes.
  7. Pour 2 tablespoons raspberry syrup into each glass.
  8. Add 1/4 teaspoon rose water to each glass (adjust to taste).
  9. Top with 1/2 cup chilled sparkling water or club soda per glass.
  10. Stir gently to combine.
  11. Garnish with fresh raspberries, edible flowers, and lemon wheels or twists if desired.
  12. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.

Notes

Simmer syrup gently to avoid bitterness. Strain thoroughly for a smooth drink. Start with a small amount of rose water and adjust to taste. Prep syrup ahead and chill glasses for best results. Substitute sugar with monk fruit or erythritol for a low-sugar version. Frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained. Edible flowers add visual appeal and subtle flavor; mint leaves can be substituted if needed.
