  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 44 oz (1.3 liters) cold water

  • 12 pumps sugar-free raspberry syrup (Torani or similar)

  • 1 pump sugar-free peach syrup

  • Fresh lemon slices (about 3–4 thin rounds)

  • Fresh strawberry slices (about 2–3 large strawberries)

  • Ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
    Optional Add-ins:

  • Fresh mint leaves

  • Sparkling water instead of still

  • A few blueberries or raspberries for color

  • Edible glitter or shimmer powder (for party-style effect)


Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Start with cold water
Pour 44 oz of cold, filtered water into a large pitcher or reusable tumbler. You can use still or sparkling water depending on your preference. For best results, chill the water ahead of time or use ice in the next step.
Step 2: Add the syrups
Add 1–2 pumps of sugar-free raspberry syrup and 1 pump of sugar-free peach syrup directly into the water. Start with less if you want a more subtle flavor, and adjust to taste. Stir gently to blend the syrups evenly throughout the water.
Step 3: Add fruit slices
Add several thin slices of lemon and sliced strawberries into the water. Not only do they add a pop of fresh flavor, but they also enhance the visual appeal of the drink with vibrant colors.
Step 4: Add ice (optional)
If you prefer your drink extra cold, add a generous amount of ice cubes to the pitcher or glass. Ice also helps keep the fruit floating at the top for a better presentation.
Step 5: Chill and serve
Let the mixture sit in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to allow the fruit to infuse lightly. Stir once more before serving. Pour into glasses, garnish with extra fruit if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use high-quality sugar-free syrups for the best taste—Torani, Jordan’s Skinny Syrups, or homemade work great.

  • Chill your glassware for a more refreshing presentation.

  • The fruit can sit in the water for up to 24 hours, but for best flavor, serve within the first 4–6 hours.

  • You can reuse the fruit for a second round by adding a little more syrup and water.

  • Adjust the syrup amounts to your taste—some like it strong and sweet, others more subtle.
