Raspberry Lime Rickey Muffins Recipe To Check In 2023

If you’ve never had a raspberry lime rickey, it’s a drink (sometimes, but not always, alcoholic) that instantly makes me think of summers at the beach. It’s tart, bubbly and ice cold, the perfect refreshment for a hot day of sun! While muffins aren’t necessarily beach food, in my book, they’re even tastier.

Add in the sweet and tart flavors of fresh raspberries and lime and you have a fun and oh so pretty treat. So, I guess I’m not hip enough for that particular guy (perhaps because I just used the word “hip”).

But, hey, I’ve got my Raspberry Lime Rickey Muffins, beautiful summer nights and an open Hinge account. I’m ready for summer with or without him. And, let’s be real…without is going to be a lot more fun!

NOT-SO-PRO TIPS

Lime rind is the green part of the skin and it is full of flavor! Generally, you get it using a grater against your lime, making small pieces. If you don’t have a greater, you can use a vegetable peeler and then mince the slice into small enough pieces If you don’t have fat free cottage cheese, you can use reduced or full fat or even ricotta as a replacement

These Raspberry Lime Rickey Muffins will stay good in the fridge for up to a week and are also freezer friendly! I like to make a big batch on the weekend, eat half throughout the week and freeze the other half for another busy week.
