Looking for a nonalcoholic drink that feels just a little bit fancier? Enter this sparkling raspberry lemonade, inspired by Meghan Markle’s recipe from Season 2 of With Love, Meghan. It’s bright, fizzy, and effortlessly chic. As Meghan says on the show, “For my friends who don’t drink, I still want them to have something that feels really special, flavorful, and not just water.” Whether you’re hosting a baby shower, leveling up book club, or simply want something pretty in your glass on a sunny afternoon, this one delivers.

Tip: Want to take this drink to the next level? Try freezing lemon slices, basil, rosemary, or edible flowers into your ice cubes. As Meghan Markle says in With Love, Meghan, they'll slowly infuse the drink with flavor as they melt. Meghan used pansies, but other edible blooms, like nasturtiums work beautifully. It’s an easy upgrade that delivers major wow factor.
