Bursting with zesty lime and juicy raspberries, this fizzy Raspberry Lime Fizz Mocktail delivers cool refreshment and lively flavors. It's a go-to for sunny afternoons or whenever you crave a playful, booze-free sip. I’ve whipped this up every summer since the day I spotted some extra-tart raspberries at the market, and around here, nobody leaves a single drop.
That first time I made it, my neighbor wanted to know how before she finished her first glass. Now I double up because someone’s always grabbing seconds.

Picking those bright raspberries always makes me smile The best part is letting my kids help mash them and giggle at their pink fingers and all the fizzing bubbles
Keeping It Fresh
Prep ahead by mixing up the berries and lime, then stick it in the fridge. Wait on the sparkling water until right before you pour or you’ll lose the magic fizz. The berry mix lasts up to a day in a sealed jar in the fridge, but honestly it’s tastiest when you make and drink it right away.
Ingredient Swaps
Switch in agave or maple syrup if you’re skipping honey. Out of sparkling water? Club soda’s perfect. Frozen berries (thawed first) will step in for fresh ones if it’s not raspberry season—they’re nearly as bold.
Fun Ways to Serve
Top with extra whole berries and a slice of lime for a pretty look. Setting up a garnish bar with mint or a splash of cranberry juice is a cool party move. Love it best over ice on a hot day or paired with easy snacks for lazy brunches.
