Ingredients You’ll Need
Raspberry Lemonade Spritz

How to Make a Raspberry Lemonade Spritz
Step 1: Make the Lemon Curd Cold Foam
In a small bowl or jar, combine heavy cream and lemon curd.
Using a handheld frother, whisk, or mixer, whip until thickened but still pourable — similar to cold foam consistency.
Set aside.
Step 2: Build the Drink
Fill a glass with ice.
Add:
- lemon lime soda
- lemonade
- raspberry syrup
Stir gently to combine.
Step 3: Add the Cold Foam
Spoon or gently pour the lemon curd cold foam over the drink so it floats beautifully on top.
Step 4: Garnish
Finish with fresh raspberries for a pop of color and an extra hint of berry flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Spritz
Use clear glasses.
The layered colors make this drink extra special.
Add the soda last if not serving immediately.
This keeps the bubbles lively and prevents the drink from going flat.
Don’t overwhip the foam.
You want it soft and pourable, not stiff like whipped cream.
Serve cold.
This drink shines when icy and refreshing.
