This sparkling raspberry lemonade is an easy and delicious party drink. It was a hit with kids and grown ups. It’s one of those drinks I crave at restaurants but wish they didn’t charge for refills ;). You can make the raspberry syrup a couple days in advance then just add club sodie pop when serving.
Raspberry season is nearly here, but the best part about this drink is you can use fresh or frozen raspberries, so you can be sipping this bubbly all year long. I included instructions for using either frozen lemonade concentrate or squeezing your own lemons. Easy peasy!
Ingredients for Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade:
1 (12 oz) bag frozen raspberries, thawed (or 12 oz fresh raspberries)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 (12 oz) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed in the fridge
(If you wish to squeeze your own lemons, combine:
1 cup lemon juice (from about 6 medium lemons) with 3/4 cup sugar)
2 Liter bottle club soda, chilled
Fresh ice to serve
Fresh raspberries and slices of lemon for garnish (optional
How to Make Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade:
1. In the bowl of an electric blender, puree together the thawed lemonade can with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 bag of thawed raspberries (just make sure to take them out of the bag, do not put the bag in the blender – just in case) ;).
2. If you don’t want the seeds to be present in your lemonade, you can strain the syrup through a cheese cloth or sieve pressing on the seeds to get as much syrup through as possible. I love this sieve from OXO. This part is a little annoying but it really only takes a few minutes. Discard leftover seeds
3. Just before your party, combine the raspberry lemonade mixture with your club soda (slowly because it fizzes like crazy!) in your punch bowl and toss in fresh raspberries and lemon slices for prettiness.
Note: If you want to make individual cups, add ice to a tall glass then top with 1/3 cup of raspberry syrup and gently/slowly pour in 1 cup club soda.
See that splash of club soda going everywhere,… um yeah that was on purpose.
Toss in some raspberries and a slice of lemon for vacation effect. Grab a straw, kick up your feet and sit in a sunny spot while sipping. It’ll change your day. Guaranteed
Oh and the refills are on the house 😉

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Hey Natasha! This drink is downright amazing🤤🤤
Just wondering tho..for how long is this concentrate good?
Thanks, Sara! You can make the raspberry syrup a couple days in advance then just add club sodie pop when serving.
Can this be put in a beverage dispenser? I’d love to make this for an upcoming baby shower!
Hi Julie! I think it could work. You may need to leave out the berries so they don’t clog the dispenser.
WOW! that looks yummy ……your all recipes are awesome….am excited for todays episode[chicken cheesy lasagna]….keep it up you are doing great Natasha…you have lots of fans …stay safe
I’m so glad you are excited! Thank you for sharing that with me.
Hi Natasha,
I came from Brunei and we do not have a club soda. Can I substitute for Sprite instead?
Thanks
Hi Michelle, It would work but will be significantly sweeter.
Since club soda is LOADED with sodium, I used unflavored seltzer instead. Much more refreshing and a far better taste! Don’t let anyone try to convince you that club soda and seltzer are the same thing!!!!!
Thank you for sharing that with me, Kathy!
Hello Natasha,
What is the lemonade best served in for a large party?
I use my largest glass pitcher (a punch bowl could also work)
Love all your recipes!! This sounds so super delicious. One question though. Of you want to make this onto an adult beverage what kind would you put on? Gin,vodka? Any suggestions would help.
Keep up the awesome work you are doing!

Hi Bettina, thank you so much for that wonderful compliment! 🙂 We don’t drink alcohol so I haven’t experimented with that at all. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
Do you use the whole 2L bottle of club soda or just 1 L?
Hi Shannon, yes I use the full 2 Liters. I see I wrote to add your liter of soda in the instructions. I have fixed that to make it more clear that it is the 2 Liter bottle per the ingredient list. Thanks for asking! 🙂
I LOVE the comment about taking the raspberries out of the bag! Some people might not know that…….It was really funny! By the way, I want to make this soon. One of these days!
ha ha. I try to be as detailed as I can,.. just in case. lol
OMG LOVE THIS DRINK!!!! I made it on Memorial day and the whole family loved it. Thank you Natasha!
Thank you so much for a great review! I’m so happy you loved it! I love your reaction! Lol
This Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade looks so refreshing! It’s such a gorgeous color, and I love that you’ve given options for using frozen fruit when fresh is not available. I think this will be my summer beverage of choice!
Thanks Kristine 🙂 You’re so sweet! I hope you have an awesome Memorial Day!
I love raspberry lemonade when I go out to eat. This looks so good! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re so welcome Jen 🙂
Natasha, thank you fir this easy recipe, just yesterday i was thinking what summer drink to make for this barbeque weekend, now i know… i always have frozen raspberries and we have frozen lemon juice from our own trees, all i need to get is club soda, thank you again.
That’s brilliant; frozen lemon juice from your own trees?! Now all I need is a lemon tree, but I don’t think they grow in Idaho 🙁
Stunning photos, Natasha! I love how your instructions say “right before your party”…who said I wasn’t planning on whipping these up for myself?! lol! Because I totally am! Saturday night here I come!
Who says you can’t have a party by yourself? 😉 You can party all week long with the syrup in the fridge!
