Cucumber, berries or a frozen version

Add a few slices of cucumber during muddling for a different flavor. You can also try blackberries or strawberries in place of the raspberries. For a low carb slushy version, blend the ingredients with ice.

Pair with savory snacks

This low carb summer beverage is delicious alongside savory snacks. These snacks complement the refreshing flavors of your mocktail while keeping your carb count low:

• Cucumber, bell pepper and celery sticks with avocado or ranch dip.
• Caprese skewers with Cherry tomatoes , fresh mozzarella, basil and balsamic glaze.
• A cheese platter with cheddar, gouda or brie, plus olives and nuts.
• A creamy avocado dip with sliced vegetables or pork rinds.

Prepare the base ahead

You can refrigerate the muddled low carb mixture for up to 24 hours. Add the sparkling water and ice just before serving to keep the drink fizzy.

Can you use frozen raspberries?

Yes. Let frozen raspberries thaw slightly before muddling so they release their juices.

Can you change the sweetener?

You can use stevia, monk fruit or another preferred sweetener. Adjust the amount to taste, since sweeteners vary in sweetness.
