Description

This homemade lemonade is the essence of summer captured in a glass. Its heart is an intense, ruby syrup made from fresh raspberries, which gives the drink a deep fruity flavor and beautiful color. A delicate hint of rose water adds elegance and a subtle floral aroma, elevating the classic lemonade to a whole new level. The acidity of freshly squeezed lemon juice perfectly balances the sweetness of the syrup, while the bubbles from sparkling water provide refreshment and lightness. Served with plenty of ice, fresh raspberries, mint leaves, and lemon slices, it becomes not only a thirst-quenching drink but also a true centerpiece for the table. It is perfect for summer garden parties, family gatherings, or as a sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage for special occasions.

Preparation steps

Raspberry Syrup

1

Prepare the flavor base for the lemonade. In a small or medium saucepan with a thick bottom, place 250g of fresh raspberries, 150g of sugar, and 250ml of water. Gently stir the ingredients with a wooden or silicone spoon to start dissolving the sugar and to coat the raspberries with water.

Ingredients: Fresh raspberries, White sugar, Water
Use a saucepan with a capacity of at least 1 liter to prevent the syrup from boiling over during cooking. You don't need to wash the raspberries if they come from a trusted source - this way they will retain more juice and aroma.
2

Place a saucepan on medium heat and warm it, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves. Then bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as the syrup starts to bubble, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and simmer for about 10-12 minutes. During this time, the raspberries will completely break down, and the syrup will thicken slightly and take on a deep ruby color.

Do not cook the syrup for too long, as it may become too thick, resembling jam. Stir every 2-3 minutes to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot. The finished syrup should still be liquid.
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 to separate the liquid from the seeds and fruit remnants. Using the back of a spoon, gently press the raspberry pulp against the strainer to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the remnants from the strainer.

To achieve a perfectly clear syrup, do not press the pulp too hard, just gently press it. Overly intense straining can make the syrup cloudy. If you don't have a fine sieve, you can line a regular sieve with double-layered cheesecloth.
4

Set the strained syrup aside to cool completely at room temperature, which will take about 30-40 minutes. Once the syrup is cool, add 10 ml (about 2 teaspoons) of rose water and mix well. Rose water is very aromatic, so add it gradually, tasting after each teaspoon to adjust the intensity to your preference.

Ingredients: Edible rose water
To speed up the cooling, you can place the bowl with the syrup into a larger container filled with cold water and ice (a so-called water bath). Remember to add the rose water only to the cold syrup so it doesn't lose its delicate aroma.

Lemonade Composition

5

Prepare a large, transparent pitcher with a capacity of about 2 liters. Fill it halfway with ice cubes. If you are using optional ingredients, add a few slices of lemon and a handful of fresh raspberries now for visual effect.

Ingredients: Ice cubes, Lemon for decoration
Using a clear pitcher will beautifully showcase the color of the lemonade and the additions. Make sure the ice is fresh and has no freezer smell, as this could ruin the taste of the drink.
6

Pour the entire prepared and cooled raspberry-rose syrup into a pitcher with ice. Then add 120 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Gently stir with a long spoon to combine both liquids. You will see how beautifully the colors mix.

Ingredients: Lemon juice
To extract as much juice as possible from lemons, roll them on the countertop, pressing down firmly with your hand before cutting. This will break the internal membranes and release more juice.
7

Just before serving, slowly pour 1000 ml of well-chilled sparkling water into the pitcher. Pour it down the side of the pitcher or over a spoon to minimize the loss of bubbles. After pouring in all the water, very gently stir the mixture just 1-2 times to combine the ingredients, but keep the drink highly carbonated.

Ingredients: Sparkling water
It is crucial to add sparkling water at the very end, just before serving. If you do it too early, the lemonade will lose its refreshing bubbles. Do not mix too vigorously!
8

Garnish the lemonade in the pitcher with a few sprigs of fresh mint. Immediately pour into prepared glasses, also filled with ice. You can additionally decorate each serving with a mint leaf and a few fresh raspberries. Serve right away while it is cold and full of bubbles.

Ingredients: Fresh mint
To release the aroma of mint, take a sprig in your hand and gently 'clap' it against your other hand before placing it in the pitcher or glass. This will make the scent more intense.

Fun Fact

💡

Rose water is one of the oldest flavoring ingredients in the world. It was used in ancient Persia not only for perfumes but also in medicine and cooking. Its addition to drinks and desserts is characteristic of Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine, where its ability to give dishes a luxurious, exotic character is appreciated.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in tall 'Collins' glasses or in round wine glasses to highlight the elegance of the drink. Add fresh raspberries, a mint leaf, and a slice of lemon to each glass. You can also freeze raspberries in ice cubes for an additional visual effect. For the alcoholic version, add 40 ml of gin (e.g., London Dry) or good quality vodka per serving directly into the glass before pouring in the lemonade.

🥡 Storage

Prepared raspberry syrup can be stored in a tightly sealed bottle or jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The lemonade itself is best consumed immediately after preparation to retain its bubbles. If there are leftovers, store it in the refrigerator in a closed pitcher for a maximum of 24 hours, but keep in mind that it will lose its carbonation.
