When the base spirit already has a distinctive berry character, the easiest mistake is to add even more berries, syrups, and sweetness. The personality of the original drink can quickly disappear.

That is why we build Raspberry MeadGIN Fizz in the opposite direction: ENTUZIAST MeadGIN Raspberry remains the primary source of raspberry aroma, while the other ingredients simply create balance and make the drink fresher.

Why a Fizz?

The classic Fizz structure works particularly well with aromatic spirits. Citrus provides acidity, a small amount of sweetness adjusts the balance, and soda water makes the aroma lighter and more expansive.

Raspberry MeadGIN Fizz Recipe

  • 50 ml ENTUZIAST MeadGIN Raspberry;
  • 20–25 ml fresh lemon juice;
  • 5–10 ml simple syrup, if needed;
  • 60–80 ml chilled soda water;
  • ice;
  • 1–2 raspberries or lemon peel for garnish.

Why So Little Syrup?

Sweetness should be adjusted according to the spirit and the acidity of the lemon. If MeadGIN Raspberry already has a rounded berry profile, very little syrup may be necessary.

The objective is not maximum sweetness but contrast between raspberry, citrus, and the botanical foundation.

How to Make Raspberry MeadGIN Fizz

  1. Add MeadGIN Raspberry, lemon juice, and a small amount of syrup to a shaker.
  2. Fill the shaker with ice.
  3. Shake until thoroughly chilled.
  4. Strain into a tall glass with ice.
  5. Top with 60–80 ml chilled soda water.
  6. Stir gently and garnish with raspberries or citrus peel.

Should You Add Fresh Raspberries to the Shaker?

You can, but we deliberately leave them out of the basic version. It is more interesting to begin with a cocktail where the raspberry character comes directly from MeadGIN Raspberry. Fresh fruit can always become a later variation.

What Should It Taste Like?

Fresh raspberry and citrus should appear first, followed by gin botanicals and the character of the base spirit. Soda adds lightness but should not turn the drink into an anonymous spritz.

Conclusion

Raspberry MeadGIN Fizz is a cocktail about raspberry, but not about raspberry syrup. Its character comes from MeadGIN Raspberry itself, while lemon and soda make the berry aroma brighter and fresher.

The more interesting the base spirit, the less it needs to be decorated with unnecessary ingredients.
