The Raspberry Rum Fizz is an original creation that combines the smoothness of white rum with the tangy freshness of raspberries, elevated by a splash of lime juice and a hint of simple syrup. It's topped off with sparkling water for a light, bubbly, and ultra-refreshing drink. Easy to make, colorful, and festive, this cocktail is perfect for summer apéritifs or tropical-themed evenings.
