Total Time 5 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda
  • 2 tbsp blue raspberry syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Lemon slices & rock candy (optional for garnish)

Notes

  • Use fruit ice cubes: Freeze fruit juice or chopped fruits in ice cube trays for colorful cubes that won’t water down your drink.
  • Play with garnishes: Go beyond lemon wedges—try candy sticks, fruit skewers, edible flowers, or colorful straws.
  • Layer for visual impact: Use drinks of different densities (syrups first, then juices, then soda) to create eye-catching layers.
  • Turn mocktails into cocktails: Many of these drinks can be spiked with vodka, rum, or tequila for a grown-up twist.
