Make any day special with this low carb sparkling raspberry limeade mocktail. It's a low calorie sweet fruity drink to help you make every moment sparkle.
Now that the weather has finally warmed up, it's great to come home from work and grab an ice cold drink to enjoy out on the deck. I rarely drink alcohol, but I do love fruity cocktail drinks. Unfortunately, regular ones are loaded with sugar.
Since I'm not much of a drinker, a mocktail is more my style. And, this is a beverage that I can share with the kids over the summer.
When my older kids were growing up, I only let them drink soda on special occasions. I kept them from soda because it's loaded with sugar and most diet sodas are sweetened artificially. My youngest child has not had any soda yet.
If I do have a soda, it's always one that is sugar free and naturally sweetened. Recently, I've been into flavored sparkling water as an alternative to soda.
The Dasani Sparkling Water comes in delicious fruit flavors that are naturally flavored with no sugar or artificial sweeteners added. I grabbed a few boxes of them at Target this week. You can find them with the other bottled water products.
Although the flavored sparkling waters are tasty by themselves, they can be used to make any moment extra special by adding fruit and a little sweetener. I used the Dasani Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade Water to make a low carb sparkling raspberry limeade mocktail!
It's really quick and easy to whip up this fruity low carb drink. I just dumped a half cup of frozen raspberries, a half cup of crushed ice, the juice of one lime, and a can of Dasani Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade into my blender.
It takes less than a minute to prepare this tasty low carb sparkling raspberry limeade mocktail. And, the blender does most of the work. You will have to squeeze the juice out of the limes, but I have a handheld juicer that does it quickly.
You could use whole ice cubes, but my blender doesn't chop ice very well so I like to use the smaller pieces of ice. If you have a higher end blender, it should do a better job of blending in the ice cubes.
Don't forget to dress up the your drinks a little with slices of lime and extra berries! The added fruit pieces make this low carb sparkling raspberry limeade mocktail look extra special.
Even with the fresh fruit, this delicious mocktail drink has less than 2 grams of sugar. So it's a perfect sweet treat to enjoy on your low carb diet. And, the added fizz really seems to help satisfy thirst on a hot day.
This low carb sparkling raspberry limeade mocktail is a fun drink to whip up when getting together with friends. It's also a treat that can be shared with the kids since there's no alcohol. It's a much healthier alternative to soda.
With summer just around the corner, I grabbed several boxes of Dasani Sparkling Water so I'll have them on hand. I bought a box of each flavor to mix it up. The raspberry lemonade and pineapple are the latest flavors. It's also available in lime, berry and black cherry. I'll be keeping these chilled in our spare fridge for when friends and family pop in.

Very tasty but I can't deal with the seeds. Any easy solution?
Lisa
You can press the raspberry pulp through a fine mesh sieve to pull out the seeds.

Great idea for (moc)ocktails but I will never use Dasani brand water (dangerous chemicals Magnesium Sulfate and Potassium Chloride in filtered tap water - specially dangerous for pregnant women & developing fetuses) or any water/product that only lists the ingredients as "natural" and refuses to say what they actually are. The word "natural" is not regulated and could be almost anything.
I will use your great idea with another product though!
Lisa
I thought a lot of bottled water companies used reverse osmosis to get pure water and then add minerals if needed for taste.
Amber Edwards
OH that looks absolutely amazing. I love Limeade drinks, and this is even better with the fizz of the Dasani Sparkling waters!
Lisa
Thanks Amber!

How much like should I use if I’m making this for about 12 people? I should multiply the recipe by 6 but you don’t specify how much lime juice to begin with so it’s difficult. Appreciate the awesome recipe though!
Lisa MarcAurele
You can use the serving adjuster. I corrected the lime juice amount. You'll want about 2 tablespoon which equivalent to that from a medium lime.
