How to Make Raspberry Lemonade Fizz
- Cook down frozen raspberries into a thick, syrupy juice. Time: 10-15 minutes.
- Press syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Chill the raspberry syrup for at least 2 hours.
- Combine raspberry juice with lemonade concentrate in a large pitcher and top with ginger ale.
Pour over ice and serve! Or better yet, set the pitcher on a drink cart or buffet table with the ice and glasses, and let your guests help themselves. I recommend plastic cups for the kiddos!
And there you have it: A signature drink for your next holiday party, tailored for a crowd, fun to drink, without last-minute work.
Raspberry Lemonade Fizz
Ingredients
- 24 ounces frozen raspberries thawed and undrained
- 1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate thawed
- 1 (2 Liter) bottle ginger ale
- Ice
- lemon sliced, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a 4-quart saucepan, bring the raspberries to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stir frequently, until the berries have broken apart and released their juices, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the berries to remove the seeds, pushing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. You should have about 1½ cups. Refrigerate raspberry juice until chilled, at least 2 hours.
- In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine raspberry juice and lemonade concentrate. Stir in ginger ale and serve immediately over ice, garnished with lemon slices if desired.

Do you think this would work with a lemon-lime soda instead of ginger-ale, Thanks in advance.
Yes, 100%, I’ve made it that way and it’s absolutely delicious. Really you’re just adding fizzy sugar so anything works. :D Thanks Kristina!
How about adding a cup or so of vodka and making a slush?
Two thumbs WAY up for that idea!!!!!
Any ideas for using the leftover raspberry pulp? I made a double batch of this and I hate to throw out all the pulp.
Hi Bonnie! You could definitely throw it in a smoothie if you make those. Possibly a berry pie filling or in with berry jam, but those sound super specific and you might not make them often. I feel like a smoothie is the easiest way to use it up. I love your no-waste attitude!
How many glasses does this make?
Hi Rosemary! This will be make twelve 8-ounce glasses. Approximately. 12 servings, 8 ounces each. Thank you! If you need anything else just let me know.
I’m assuming this would work with strawberries too?
I think it would be really great with strawberries, yes!
Thank you for this awesome and refreshing looking drink!!
What a festive drink, great for the holidays! Can’t wait to try it!
I am not a big soda drinker, but I have always loved ginger ale! Paired with fresh raspberries, I image the taste would be phenomenal! Light, refreshing, perfect!
Such a lovely colorful drink and so festive. I love the idea of using fresh raspberries, must so tasty with the ginger ale.
