Rosé Lemonade Mocktail
Are you trying to find the ideal pink mocktail for a bridal shower, baby shower or brunch? If so, you'll adore this homemade Rosé Lemonade mocktail recipe. The healthy take on sweet store-bought rose cocktails is a mocktail. Use your preferred sweetener instead of sugar for a low-carb and low-sugar variation.
Ingredients
For the rosé simple syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup edible dried rose petals
- ¾ cup sugar
For the mocktail:
- 1½ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 5-6 cups sparkling water
- rosé simple syrup
Instructions
- Mix water with your preferred sugar or sweetener over a medium boil to prepare the rose syrup. Stir from time to time until the sweetener dissolves.

- Take off the heat and let steep for ten minutes.
- Cool and strain. You can now use this rose syrup.
- In a pitcher, gently whisk soda water, lemon juice, and rose syrup together.
- Serve in glasses with ice and decorate with edible rose petals and slices of lemon.
