Why You’ll Love Cupid’s Vodka Spiked Raspberry Lemonade

This recipe is more than just a pretty drink. By blending ripe raspberries and fresh lemon juice, it achieves a natural, fruit-forward taste that’s worlds apart from powdered mixes.

Chilled over ice and garnished with lemon slices and berries, Cupid’s Vodka Spiked Raspberry Lemonade looks as good as it tastes—making it a go-to choice for both casual parties and special occasions.

Making the Perfect Raspberry Lemonade Base

The base of this cocktail is a blend of juicy raspberries and tangy fresh lemons. For the smoothest results, use a high-powered blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black to puree the berries and incorporate them fully into your drink. Straining the mixture ensures your lemonade is lusciously smooth, free from seeds and pulp.

For extra convenience when prepping lemons, a sturdy cutting surface like the Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 makes juicing and slicing effortless.

Mixing and Serving Your Spiked Lemonade

After making your raspberry lemonade base, chilling the drink is key. Pour the mixture over plenty of ice, or prepare pitchers ahead of time and store them in your fridge using airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to keep the flavors fresh.

For effortless and stylish serving, pour the drink into the Stanley Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler, 30 oz, Rose Quartz, which keeps your cocktail cold for hours—a chic and functional pick for parties.

Customization and Garnishing Ideas

While Cupid’s Vodka Spiked Raspberry Lemonade is sensational as is, it’s incredibly easy to customize:

  • Make it sparkling: Substitute half the water for sparkling water for an effervescent twist.
  • Add herbs: Muddle fresh mint or basil with the raspberries for a refreshing herbal note.
  • Switch the spirit: Swap in gin or light rum for subtle flavor shifts.
  • Extra fancy: Top with a splash of prosecco or garnish with edible flowers.
