❤️🧊 Floating Heart Valentine Drink Recipe

Kid-Friendly Red Beverage 💗

Make this festive Red Valentine Drink so the whole family can enjoy a fun, non-alcoholic beverage featuring adorable raspberry floating heart ice cubes!

Since this is an alcohol-free drink, it is perfectly kid-friendly and simple enough that children can even help with the assembly.

The secret to this gorgeous red beverage is the flavorful heart-shaped ice.

As long as you prepare the raspberry ice cubes ahead of time (they need time to freeze), the drinks themselves can be mixed up quickly, just moments before serving!

This is a delightful, simple, and visually stunning drink that adds a perfect touch of romance and fun to your Valentine’s Day celebration.

Prepping the Floating Heart Ice Cubes 🍓

The raspberry ice cubes are the star of this drink!

They not only look beautiful but are also very flavorful, adding a hint of fruit to the sparkling base as they melt.

Making the Ice Hearts

The Mold: You will need a heart-shaped ice cube mold to achieve the floating heart look.
The Mix: The ice cube mixture uses equal parts Raspberry Syrup and Water (1/2 cup of each) to create a flavored ice that is prettier and tastier than plain water ice.
Freeze Time: Be sure to mix the ice ingredients and pour them into the mold overnight or until they are frozen solid.

Choosing Your Raspberry Flavor and Fizz 🥤

While the recipe calls for specific amounts, both the syrup and the carbonation can be customized to suit your family’s preference.

Syrup Choice

Many popular syrup brands, like Torani, DaVinci, and Monin, offer a high-quality raspberry syrup that works perfectly for this recipe.

You can choose a regular or sugar-free version, depending on your dietary preferences.

Carbonated Base

Carbonated Water or Club Soda provides the necessary fizz. You can purchase pre-bottled sparkling water or, if your family enjoys sparkling drinks often, consider investing in a sparkling water machine to save money and reduce plastic waste.
Sweetness Control: The recipe suggests 1 teaspoon of raspberry syrup added directly to the carbonated water for the base drink, but you can adjust this amount for a sweeter flavor if desired.
