These sparkling pink raspberry lemonade cocktails are delicious, refreshing and easy. They make a great drink to serve at a summer gathering and can be made as a cocktail or mocktail.

One of my favorite parts of planning summer menus are the drinks. I love finally getting to use my fancy cocktails glasses, pitchers, ice cubes, and serving trays. I always try to make a colorful drink that looks elegant and festive. These sparkling cocktails are just that. They are also really easy to make, with just a few simple ingredients. All you need is some fresh mint, raspberries, sparkling water or wine, and Simply Lemonade® with Raspberry.
Simply Lemonade with Raspberry is naturally pink, which makes for a beautiful cocktail. I like using Simply Beverages™ because they are all made with real fruit juice (not from concentrate) and don’t contain any added preservatives, colors, or artificial flavors. Of course, my favorite one is Simply Lemonade with Raspberry because it is pink! And I love lemonade and raspberries in the summer. Both flavors are so light and refreshing on a warm summer day.
Simply Lemonade with Raspberry is made from simple ingredients: pure filtered water, not-from-concentrate juices and purees, cane sugar and natural flavors. You can find Simply Lemonade with Raspberry at most grocery stores nationwide, but here is also a helpful store locator.
I’m excited to serve these cocktails in a few weeks!

I have a shaded yard, so time on the deck is a good way to keep cool with a glass of water or lemonade.

I’m keeping cool this summer by staying in the air conditioning as much as possible with my iced, cold water. A glass of your Simply cocktail does sound good right now.
this sounds delicious – adding sparkling wine/champagne would be refreshing to the lemonade is a perfect summer drink. Best way to keep cool this summer – laying by the pool with a fruity cocktail – aka pina colada! 😀
I keep cool by drinking Lots of water with lemon or lime, keeping fans in use all through the house and by eating more green veggies and very little meat during these Hot months.
