Raspberry Lychee Vodka Fizz

The Raspberry Lychee Vodka Fizz is light, fruity, and just the right amount of sweet. Fresh raspberries bring a bright berry flavor, while lychee adds a soft, floral note that pairs well with the clean bite of vodka. Topped with soda water, it’s bubbly and refreshing without feeling too heavy. This drink is great for warm afternoons, weekend brunch, or when you want something a little different but still easy to sip. The flavors are smooth and balanced, and the color makes it look just as good as it tastes.

Tasting Notes

This drink is light, fruity, and super easy to sip. The raspberry-lychee purée brings a mix of sweet, floral, and slightly tart flavors that play well with the smoothness of vodka. Topped with soda water, the drink is fizzy and refreshing without being too sweet. It’s crisp and bright with a soft berry-fruit finish that lingers just long enough.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a shaker (optional) if you want to fully blend the purée and vodka before topping. Otherwise, a mixing spoon works just fine. Use a jigger for measuring and a tall glass like a highball or Collins glass to hold the fizz and fruit. A straw or cocktail stirrer helps with keeping things blended as you sip. If you’re garnishing, a skewer or pick works great for fresh berries or lychee on top.

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka
• 2 oz raspberry-lychee purée
• Soda water, to top
• Garnish: lychee fruit or fresh raspberries (optional)

Instructions

• Fill a glass with ice. Add vodka and raspberry-lychee purée.
• Top with soda water and stir gently to combine.
• Add a fresh lychee or raspberry for a visually elegant touch.

Pro Tips

Use a chilled glass to help the fizz last longer. Shake or stir the purée well—it can settle quickly. If you want a sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup. If your purée is thick, double strain for a smoother texture. For a cleaner look, use clear soda water rather than flavored sparkling drinks. Garnish with mint or a slice of lychee for an extra aromatic touch.

When to Serve

This Raspberry Lychee Vodka Fizz is a great pick for warm-weather hangouts, brunches, or light cocktail hours. It’s refreshing without being too boozy, so it’s perfect for early evenings or casual get-togethers. Because it’s fruit-forward and fizzy, it also works well for showers, celebrations, or anytime you want a colorful, easygoing cocktail.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

• Use a smooth vodka like Tito’s, Absolut, or Grey Goose for a clean base.
• If you’re making the purée, use fresh or frozen raspberries and canned lychee in syrup for best results. Blend and strain until smooth.
• For store-bought, go with high-quality fruit purées like Perfect Purée or Monin.
• Stick with plain soda water to keep the drink light and not overly sweet.
