Emulsifier Free Raspberry Lemon Mocktail

Bright, tangy, and beautifully ruby-red, this sparkling drink is the kind of thing that looks like it came from a fancy cocktail bar but comes together with just a handful of whole, simple ingredients. Every component here is completely clean — fresh raspberries, real lemon juice, maple syrup, and sparkling water — with zero additives, stabilizers, or synthetic emulsifiers hiding anywhere in the mix. That matters more than you might think, because plenty of store-bought flavored syrups and bottled mocktail mixers sneak in emulsifying agents to improve texture or shelf life. Making the raspberry syrup from scratch on the stovetop takes less than ten minutes and gives you total control over exactly what goes into your glass. The syrup gets strained until silky smooth, so you get that gorgeous deep-red color and concentrated berry flavor without any of the pulp. Poured over ice with fresh lemon juice and a hit of cold sparkling water, it's refreshing, lightly sweet, and genuinely satisfying. A sprig of mint and a lemon wheel on the rim make it feel like a real occasion drink — no compromise required.
