Ingredients:
2 bottles Moscato
1 pink lemonade concentrate
3 C of Sprite (more or less, depending on your taste)
Fresh raspberries
I emptied all of the liquid ingredients into a pitcher and stirred. Then I mashed about half the raspberries and put them in. Placed the rest of the raspberries in the glasses and served it up to most of my guests content. We ranged about 60 years in age (those who were partaking), and the only complaint I received was after I had run out. Crisp and refreshing all around!

| sorry for the blur, I was running out the door to refill the glasses! |
I'd use a reisling or other white wine; too SWEET!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. But where I live I cannot buy the concentrates (limeade, pink lemonade, etc.) However, I can find the powdered stuff. Do you think the results would be close?
ReplyDeleteCK,
DeleteTough call. If you trust the concentrate and know it does well, then I'd mix it in with the wine. I'd do a sample cup first, however, to see if you like it in small doses. If they're too sweet, I might pick a more basic white wine to mix it in.
Enjoy!
I tried a different twist by replacing the sprite with raspberry seltzer, just the right amount of sweet with a bubbly twist!! Also a way to cut extra calories!!
DeleteI would use Minute Made or Simply Juice of the same flavor if you can't find the concentrate. I also agree with subbing Sprite with a flavored sparkling water.
DeleteI don't care for raspberries, do you think this would be good with strawberries?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. It will be sweet, but I'm certain it'd still be wonderful.
DeleteSooooo good! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous summer drink recipe! I made it this weekend when we had family in town and it got rave reviews I had so many people ask for the recipe. This is deffinitely my go-to summer cocktail!
ReplyDeleteThis looks Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to know what size of the barefoot moscato did you use? I noticed yesterday when I was at walmart they had had a small size for around $5 and a large size for around $10.
ReplyDeleteI used two smalls, but one large would be easier if it's available. And for the price, you can't really go wrong!
DeleteWhat is the ML on this?
DeleteThe small is a 750mL, the large is 1.5.
DeleteHow many servings?
ReplyDeleteAbout 15. I filled the water glasses 2/3 with ice and then poured.
DeleteDo you mix the concentrate directly into the Moscato? Or do you make the lemonade according to the directions on it's package, and then combine everything?
ReplyDeleteI mixed it directly into the Moscato, ignoring the package directions.
DeleteWhat size..6 ounce or 12 ounce of the pink lemonade concentrate?
ReplyDeleteI used the "standard" 6 oz size.
DeleteIf you knew you were going to make this ahead of time, take some of the raspberries and put them in icecube trays and make icecubes with the berries in them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! If I ever thought ahead, I'd probably be amazed at what ideas are out there!!
DeleteI love this recipe and since Moscato is my favorite wine, I always have it on hand. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI would love to feature this recipe on a post I'm doing over at Fiesta Résistance for Mother's day! Would be ok if I used your photo and I would of course link it right back to this post?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Ashlee
Sure thing. Enjoy!
DeleteI'm from Sarasota. Must try. ;) thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI want to have a party so I can serve this!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! I like to pour Pinot Grigio over frozen strawberries and top off with ginger ale and juice or juice concentrate. Sometimes just ginger ale.
ReplyDeleteSounds amazing! I'll have to try that my next time out!
DeleteDid you let the concentrate thaw or stir it in frozen?
ReplyDeleteI usually let it thaw to make it easier to stir in.
DeleteI'm having people over tonight and let my sister in law pick between this and another. She wanted this so I'll let you know how it goes. Sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Jes!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ashlee and I'm a food contributor over at Fiesta Résistance. We're a party planning resource blog and I'm working on a recipe round up for Mother's Day Brunch. I would love this recipe on my post! I was hoping that I could use your picture in my post and put a link that would take you right back to the original post so that you get 100% of the credit. Please let me know if this is alright with you!

It's all good. I'm only here to share my ideas. Thanks for checking, Ashlee!
Deletejes
This sounds great!!! I keep a bag of strawberries in my freezer to put in lemonade and in wine to keep it cool. Sounds like I need to be storing raspberries in there, too!! Riunite D'Oro Moscato is cheaper and really good, too. I bet it would be a yummy replacement.
ReplyDeleteThis is my perfect drink! Thanks so much for posting this :)
ReplyDeleteI pinned this and then I made it. Was really good. I also linked it on my blog.....hope thats ok. :oD

Of course. Glad you enjoyed!
DeleteHey pampered Jes, what hors d'oeuvres would you pair with this?
ReplyDeleteSince it's so sweet, I would go with more savory options, but lighter, like a brie and crostini.
DeleteJust made this and I used one large bottle...I should have bought two!! Everyone loves it. Thanks for the recipe
ReplyDeleteMaking this for back porch sitting tonight!! I am sure it will be wonderful! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about using frozen rasberries in the bunch? We are going to serve this at a shower in large punch bowl.
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect. The raspberries in the drink are for fun, since the flavor comes more from the concentrate and wine. I think it'd be amazing. Enjoy!
DeleteHow many does it serve?
ReplyDeleteAbout 15. I filled the water glasses 2/3 with ice and then poured.
DeleteHas anyone tried this with Diet Sprite? If so, how was it?
ReplyDeleteI would think if you went with Sprite Zero, probably no one would notice!
DeleteYou can't tell the difference and I use sprite zero!!
DeleteLove this...tried it this past weekend and it was a hit. Will be linking it on my blog!
ReplyDeleteIf i wanted to use one large btl of Moscato how much sprite,lemonade,raspberries do I use??
ReplyDeleteMade this drink for a gathering today and it was a BIG hit. I used strawberries instead of raspberries and it was totally refreshing.. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteI came across your recipe and minutes later I was out the door to get some ingredients!! I have it chilling i the fridge but from the little taste test I had I already know it will be amazing! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe!!
ReplyDeletePS just a thought, add some grapes :) mash some up with the rasberrys and then put some in the pitcher after poking some holes into them to allow the fizzy drink to be ale to flow through them. Great for a little snack at the end :)
Delicious! My new favorite way to drink Moscato.
ReplyDeleteI made this over the weekend and mine fell flat almost immediately. Did you find that you needed to keep adding Sprite or how did you keep it from tasting flat?
ReplyDeleteI am planning on making this drink for a party this weekend
DeleteI would also like to know if it is going to taste flat
is there anything u can substitute for the wine. I wanted to serve it at my daughters bday party
ReplyDeleteTry sparkling grape juice :)
DeleteMoscato and squirt! Soo yummy
ReplyDeleteI made this drink for forth of July and everyone loved it! I also featured it on my blog. Check it out!!

Made this tonight for girls night! It was delicious, I couldn't find frozen juice concentrate so I just substituted that with Trop50 Raspberry Lemonade juice from concentrate, I mashed up an entire box of fresh raspberries and it was amazing! I also made a glass with whipped cream on the top... it was also AMAZING! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeleteYUM! We made this and loved it - thanks! Also, if anyone is complaining about the sweetness, just don't use the supersweet Moscato. Go for a dry white.
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight for girls night in, but used sprite zero and strawberries. It was a big hit and everyone wanted the recipe!
ReplyDelete3 cups of sprite?
ReplyDeleteI'm closing off Summer with this drink recipe! THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July :)
I made this yesterday for a BBQ...I substituted raspberry seltzer for Sprite. Everyone loved it! It's a keeper! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'll be giving this a try even though summer is pretty much over!
ReplyDeleteI made this earlier and I'm drinking it at the moment. They only thing I would do differently next time is leave the raspberries whole instead of mushing them. Other than that I love it! Oh and I had some razzmatazz sitting around so i added a shot of that to it as well. Tastes great. Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeletePlan on making this for a Girls Night In Party. Super excited to try it!
ReplyDeleteWe made this except we used frozen raspberry's. Kept the drink cold, not that it took long before the glass was empty lol
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try a variation of this for a Christmas party... Moscato, Cranberry Splash Sierra Mist, Cran-Raspbery concentrate, Frozen Raspberries... Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteI`m throwing a lingerie shower for a friend where I`'ll be serving desserts only. Will this drink be too sweet to accompany the treats?
