    A glass filled with a raspberry gin fizz cocktail.

    This raspberry gin fizz will have you raising a glass high! It’s bright, bubbly, and oh so delicious! Sweet berries, smooth gin, and tart lime combine in this easy drink recipe. Serve up in a cute coupe or on the rocks in a tumbler.

    A raspberry gin fizz cocktail is in a vintage coupe glass. Garnished with a mint leaf, a raspberry rests beside the glass on a grey background.

    I love this recipe because it takes a classic cocktail – the gin fizz – and gives it a little punch of produce with the addition of fresh raspberries. It can be made two ways – with and without egg white – to suit anyone’s tastes.

    It still has all the flavor components of the traditional gin fizz, though. It’s got citrus/acid from lime juice, bubbles from soda water, and gin.

    I highly recommend using a high-quality gin. Bonus points if you can get your hands on a bottle of a Wisconsin-made gin. We have so many great distilleries in this state to choose from!

    Egg-scuse me?!

    It may seem crazy but egg white is actually a very common ingredient in “fancy” cocktails. Like a whiskey sour, amaretto sour, or, really, any other “sour” cocktail.

    The sour part comes from an acid used in the drink – usually either lemon or lime juice. And that beautiful frothy head that is so quintessential to a sour cocktail recipe is from the reaction of egg white and soda water. It’s mixology magic!

    Of course, if you’re hesitant to use a raw egg white (though if the eggs are fresh and pasteurized, you should be just fine) or if you’re vegan or allergic to egg, there’s another option for you! Simply omit the egg white and add a bit more soda water. Ta-da!

    The egg white adds no flavor to the drink, because that would be weird. Instead, it adds body and beauty and doesn’t get in the way of the glorious juniper notes of the gin, the tart lime juice, or the sweet raspberry. This cocktail hits all the flavor markers!

    A hand reaches out to garnish a raspberry gin fizz with a lime twist. A raspberry sits behind the vintage glass on a gray background.

    How to make a Raspberry Gin Fizz

    This is just a brief overview, find detailed instructions in the recipe card below!

    1. Muddle a handful of fresh raspberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
    2. Add fresh lime juice and gin. If using, add the egg white before topping with ice.
    3. Shake the bajeezus out of it and strain into a coupe glass, leaving about 1 ½ ounces of space at the top.
    4. Top off the drink with soda water and watch the magic happen!
    5. Serve with a lime twist or fresh mint sprig if you’re feeling fancy!
    Muddle fresh berries.
    Add lime juice & gin.
    Shake, strain, & serve.

    Again, if you’re hesitant to use egg whites, simply omit it from the procedure and instead strain the drink into a rocks glass filled with ice and top with soda water. Still delicious! And still full of gin!

    When choosing a gin for this raspberry gin fizz you’ll want to get a liquor that isn’t too pine-forward, as some gins can be because they’re made from juniper berries.

    Look for a gin that also has hints of citrus to compliment the ingredients of the drink. But, truly, as with all cocktails, it’s important to use a liquor that you personally enjoy.
