Mocktail FAQs

What is Fresca made of?

Fresca is a citrus-flavored soda that’s calorie-free and has a slightly tangy, grapefruit-like taste. It pairs beautifully with pineapple juice.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can mix the juice and keep it chilled, but add Fresca and frozen fruit right before serving to keep the fizz fresh.

What if I don’t have raspberries?

No worries! Try blueberries, mango, pineapple, or even frozen grapes.

Is this healthy?

It’s low in calories, and if you use 100% pineapple juice, there are no added sugars. Win-win!

Family-Friendly and Fun

This mocktail is my go-to when we have brunch with the grandparents or playdates in the backyard. The kids feel fancy with their “sparkle drinks,” and I get to sip something that feels indulgent without any alcohol. Plus, it takes literally 2 minutes to make—that’s a blessing on busy days.
