This Himbeer Maibowle is a softer, fruitier alternative to the classic Waldmeister-Bowle, the traditional German May Bowl often made with woodruff. The raspberry syrup gives the drink a gentle berry sweetness and a soft pink color, while sparkling water keeps it bright and easy to sip.
Serve it for Maifest, garden parties, Mother’s Day brunch, spring dinners, or any occasion where a simple pitcher just will not do.
