    Healthy Alcoholic Raspberry Lime Rickey

    Published: Aug 11, 2021 · Modified: Jul 24, 2022 by Rachael · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

    I was SO tired of vodka sodas but still wanted something healthy. This adult raspberry lime rickey has a homemade raspberry puree made of frozen raspberries and agave - there are less than 3 grams of all natural sugar and leave me with no sugar hangovers. They are ALWAYS a hit!

    Raspberry lime rickeys were one of my favorite childhood treats. They can be found at many New England ice cream shops and diners. But the original rickey was made with gin so why not make this childhood favorite alcoholic?!

    Which kitchen tools are needed?

    • Small pot or pan that can hold liquid
    • Cocktail shaker (or 2 cups to mix in)
    • Blender
    • Cup for the cocktail

    Batch Prepping Alcoholic Raspberry Lime Rickeys

    To batch prep I combine 16 servings of the raspberry puree, lime juice and vodka into a mason jar. I usually do 16 servings because the 8oz bag of raspberries creates 16 servings of the raspberry puree. Then have the seltzer water, ice and lime wedges on the side. Pour 2 shot glasses of the mixture into a cup of ice, mix and top with seltzer

    Cocktail Garnish Ideas

    • Rasberries
    • Edible flowers
    • Lime slices or dehydrated lime slices
    • Fancy straw

    Description

    Tired of boring vodka sodas? This healthy raspberry lime rickey vodka cocktail is ALWAYS a hit and has less than 3 grams of all natural sugar.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    Raspberry Purée (makes ~16 tablespoons):

    • 8 ounce bag organic frozen raspberries (or fresh)
    • 2 tablespoons agave or raw honey

    Single Drink Serving:

    • 1 tablespoon raspberry purée (from above)
    • 2 ounces vodka (1 shot glass)
    • 1 ounce lime juice (0.5 shot glass)
    • 10 ice cubes
    • top with seltzer water (plain, lime or raspberry lime flavor)
    • lime wedge (optional for garnish) 
    • 3 extra rasberries (optional for garnish)

    Instructions

    1. Make raspberry purée: Cook frozen rasberries on low/medium heat with agave until rasberries break down. Wait for the purée to cool (speed this up by putting this in the fridge) and then blend for 10 seconds. 

    2. Create cocktail: In a cocktail shaker combine vodka, lime juice, raspberry purée and ice. Shake well. Pour into a cup with the ice from the shaker and top with seltzer water. 

    3. Garnish: Top with lime, raspberries and a straw. Enjoy! Sip sip.

    Notes

    • vodka substitute: tequila, gin, or leave it out for a virgin version 
    • agave substitute: raw honey
    • no cocktail shaker: if you don't have a cocktail shaker simply pour the drink mixture between two cups, back and fourth until well combined then top with seltzer
