• measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Heat-safe jar or bottle (for syrup storage)
• Tall glass (12–16 oz)

Ingredients

Blue Raspberry Simple Syrup

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• ½–1 tsp blue raspberry extract to taste

Soda (1 large glass)

• ½ cup fresh lemonade
• 2–3 tbsp blue raspberry simple syrup
• ½–¾ cup cold sparkling water or lemon soda

Instructions

Make the Blue Raspberry Simple Syrup

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water.
• Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved (avoid a hard boil).
• Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in blue raspberry extract and optional food coloring.
• Let cool completely, then transfer to a sealed jar or bottle.
• Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Assemble the Soda

• Fill a tall glass with ice.
• Add lemonade.
• Pour in blue raspberry simple syrup.
• Top with sparkling water.
• Gently stir until evenly mixed and vividly blue.
• Taste and adjust sweetness or fizz if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

• Extract strength varies: Blue raspberry extract can be very potent—start with less in the syrup and add more only after tasting.
• Color control: Some extracts are lightly tinted; add a drop or two of blue food coloring only if you want a more vibrant hue.
• Sweetness balance: Adjust syrup amount based on how sweet or tart your lemonade is.
• Carbonation tip: Add sparkling water last and stir gently to keep the soda fizzy.
• Make-ahead friendly: The syrup can be prepared up to 2 weeks in advance and stored refrigerated.
• Scaling up: For pitchers or parties, mix lemonade and syrup first; add carbonation right before serving.
• Flavor variations: Add vanilla cream for a creamy soda, extra lemon juice for more tartness, or crushed ice for a slush-style drink.

✨ Optional Variations

• Creamy soda: Add a splash of vanilla cream or sweet cream foam
• Slushie: Blend lemonade and syrup with crushed ice, then top with fizz
• Party pitcher: Mix lemonade and syrup first; add carbonation just before serving
• Candy look: Rim glass with blue sanding sugar 🍭

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this soda without carbonation?
Yes. Simply replace the sparkling water with cold still water or extra lemonade for a non-fizzy version.

What type of lemonade works best?
Fresh-squeezed lemonade gives the brightest flavor, but high-quality bottled lemonade works well for convenience.

Is blue raspberry extract required?
For the signature flavor, yes—but you can substitute raspberry extract for a more natural berry profile (the color will differ).

Can I make this drink sugar-free?
You can use a sugar-free sweetener to make the syrup, but flavor intensity and texture may vary depending on the sweetener.

How far in advance can I assemble the drink?
The syrup and lemonade can be mixed ahead of time, but add sparkling water just before serving to keep the soda bubbly.

Is this kid-friendly?
Absolutely. This is a non-alcoholic, candy-inspired soda that’s great for kids, parties, and family-friendly events.
