What is a Raspberry Vodka Soda?

A raspberry vodka soda is a combination of soda water and raspberry vodka. This cocktail has a light and crisp flavor with a faint hint of sweet raspberry and a little bite from the vodka.

This drink is a nice flavored variation on a plain vodka soda. Soda water and liquor is always a nice and lower calorie cocktail choice. Some popular ones are whiskey soda and tequila soda.

Soda water is a nice, fizzy and light addition for this cocktail. It is a zero calorie drink so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a lower calorie option.

Raspberry vodka is a nice flavored vodka. It has a lightly sweet and fruity flavor. We like to use Three Olives or Smirnoff.

When to Make This Drink:

This light, crisp and refreshing lower calorie cocktail is perfect for some times like:

• beach days
• afternoon sipping
• summer celebrations
• spring get togethers

Variations:

Since there are only two ingredients in this cocktail, it’s a little difficult to mix it up too much. However, here are a few things you can try out:

• Use a flavored seltzer water. Raspberry or lime flavors work really well.
• Add a little sweet. Use a little dash of raspberry simple syrup to sweeten it up and capitalize on the raspberry flavor.
• Muddle a few raspberries. Muddle a couple raspberries in at the bottom of the drink to infuse it with extra raspberry flavor.
