Festive Valentine’s Day Drink with Raspberry Ice Hearts

kids valentine drink

Make this festive red Valentine drink, so the whole family can enjoy the fun of raspberry floating heart ice cubes.

It is simple to make, so kids can help.

This is definitely a kid friendly recipe, since it is an alcohol-free Valentine’s Day drink.

As long as you prepare by making the raspberry ice cubes ahead of time, the drinks can be put together quickly just before serving.

Which Raspberry Syrup Is Best for The Red Valentine Drink?

There are three main syrup brands that are readily available online and in the retail stores near me – Torani, DaVinci and Monin.

Monin has raspberry syrup that is gluten-free and non-GMO that I like.

And Torani has Raspberry in their Puremade line and a sugar-free version.

Other brands that may be available in your local area are good, too.

Feel free to use them interchangeably and choose whichever brand you prefer.

Can I Use The Floating Ice Cubes in Other Drinks?

Absolutely!

The raspberry ice cubes are very flavorful, so they are a pretty way to add flavor to a variety of drinks.

Is A Sparking Water Machine Worthwhile?

For this red Valentine drink recipe you can either make your own carbonated water or you can purchase a bottle of sparkling water.

If you are an occasional sparkling drink maker, it may not make sense to invest in a machine.

But if your family loves their sparkling drinks, a machine can save money and can cut down on single use carbonated beverage bottles.

The machines are simple to use and don’t take up much space in the kitchen.
