Ingredients Needed for Raspberry Lemonade Summer Cocktail
See printable recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and step by step directions.
- Malibu Rum– this is a popular brand of Carribean Rum and has a coconut flavor to it! Sweet, tropical, and often used in pina coladas and my Strawberry Daiquiri’s
- Raspberry Lemonade– you can use pre-made lemonade found at the grocery store such as Simply Made. To save on calories, I like to use Crystal Light
Variations
- For Strawberry Lemonade Cocktails, use strawberry lemonade in place of the raspberry
- To make Blueberry Lemonade Cocktails, use regular lemonade and add in fresh blueberries
- Add fresh raspberries to each glass before serving
- Garnish each glass with a lemon slice for a fun citrus addition
- Squeeze a fresh lemon into the glass for an added lemon juice addition
How to make Raspberry Lemonade Cocktail
- Fill two glasses with ice.
- Add a shot worth (more or less depending on preference) of Malibu Rum to each glass.
- Fill glass the rest of the way full of Raspberry Lemonade.
- Stir and serve!!
Tips and Storage
- If you have a cocktail shaker, you can add the ingredients from each glass into it and shake until combined. This chills the drink quickly and you won’t have to use as much ice.
- To save on time, you can make this cocktail in a pitcher and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve/enjoy.
- If preparing ahead of time, keep in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Pink Sanding Sugar is a tasty addition to the rim prior to filling with ingredients.
- You can also use raspberry lemonade and raspberry vodka if you don’t have Malibu Rum on hand.
