Description

A refreshing and incredibly elegant lemonade that combines the sweetness of sun-ripened raspberries with a subtle floral note of rose water. It’s the perfect drink for hot summer days, garden parties, or special occasions when you want to serve something extraordinary. Its beautiful, deep pink color catches the eye and invites tasting. The lemonade is perfectly balanced – the sweetness of homemade raspberry syrup pairs wonderfully with the tartness of freshly squeezed lemon juice, while the delicate aroma of rose adds a refined character to the whole. Served with plenty of ice, fresh mint, and lemon slices, it not only tastes fantastic but also looks stunning. It can be prepared in a non-alcoholic version or enhanced with a splash of gin or prosecco, creating a light summer cocktail.

Preparation steps

Raspberry-Rose Syrup

1

We start by preparing the flavor base, which is the syrup. Take a small saucepan, preferably with a thick bottom to prevent burning. Add fresh raspberries, sugar, and pour in 250 ml of water. Place the saucepan on a medium heat burner.

Ingredients: Fresh raspberries, White sugar, Water
You don't need to wash raspberries if they come from a reliable source. If you must rinse them, do it very gently and quickly, then dry them well to avoid diluting the syrup.
2

Heat the mixture, gently stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar completely dissolves. You will notice that the liquid becomes clear. Once this happens, bring the syrup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to the minimum so that the syrup just gently 'bubbles'. Cook this way for about 10-15 minutes.

Stir occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom. The syrup is ready when the raspberries have completely broken down, and the mixture has thickened slightly and taken on an intense ruby color.
3

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Prepare a bowl and place a fine-mesh strainer over it. Carefully pour the hot syrup through the strainer. Use the back of a spoon or a silicone spatula to thoroughly press the raspberry pulp through the strainer. We want to extract as much valuable juice as possible. Discard the seeds and remaining pulp that will be left in the strainer.

Be patient while straining. The pulp holds a lot of flavor. You can also use cheesecloth or muslin for perfectly clear syrup, but a sieve will be more than enough.
4

Set the obtained clear raspberry syrup aside to cool completely. This is very important, as adding hot syrup to cold drinks will quickly melt the ice and dilute the lemonade. When the syrup reaches room temperature, pour in a tablespoon of rose water and gently mix. We add the rose water at the end so that its delicate aroma does not evaporate during cooking.

Ingredients: Edible rose water
To speed up the cooling process, you can pour the syrup into a cold container (e.g., a glass jar) and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Lemonade composition

5

Prepare four tall glasses (highball or Collins type). Fill each of them about 2/3 full with ice cubes. The more ice, the better, as the drink will stay cold longer.

Ingredients: Ice cubes
If you have time, you can chill the glasses in the freezer for 15-20 minutes beforehand. This will make the lemonade even more refreshing.
6

In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the cooled raspberry-rose syrup with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir everything thoroughly with a long spoon to blend the flavors, creating a concentrated base for the lemonade.

Ingredients: Lemon juice
Before squeezing the juice, roll the lemons on the counter, pressing down firmly. This will help them release more juice. Make sure there are no seeds in the juice.
7

Pour the prepared raspberry-lemon base evenly into each glass with ice. It should fill the glass to about 1/3 or half of its height, depending on your preferred intensity of flavor.

At this stage, there should be two layers visible in the glass: ice on top and an intensely pink liquid at the bottom. It looks very impressive.
8

Now it's time for the bubbles. Open the well-chilled sparkling water and slowly, carefully fill each glass to the brim. Pour the water down the side of the glass or over the ice cubes to avoid losing too much carbonation.

Ingredients: Sparkling water
After adding water, you can very gently stir the drink with a long spoon, making one or two movements from bottom to top to combine the ingredients, but without losing the bubbles in the drink.
9

Finally, decorate each serving. Place a sprig of fresh mint in the glass (remember to 'wake it up' by gently tapping it against your hand) and add a slice of lemon. You can also toss in a few fresh raspberries. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and full of bubbles.

Ingredients: Fresh mint, Lemon slices
Additionally, to enhance the appearance, you can use edible rose petals that will beautifully float on the surface of the drink. Colorful paper straws will also be a great addition.

Fun Fact

💡

Rose water, a key ingredient in this lemonade, is a byproduct of distilling rose petals to obtain rose oil. It has a thousand-year history and has been valued not only in the kitchen (especially in Persian and Middle Eastern cuisine) but also in medicine and cosmetics since ancient times.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the lemonade immediately after preparation in tall, chilled glasses. For an alcoholic version, add 40 ml of gin to each glass or top it up with prosecco instead of part of the sparkling water. You can also freeze raspberries in ice cubes for an extra visual effect.

🥡 Storage

Ready lemonade should be consumed immediately. The raspberry-rose syrup can be stored in a tightly sealed bottle or jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This way, you can quickly prepare a fresh batch of lemonade at any time.
