Raspberry Apricot Ginger Water: Easy Infused Water Recipe

Raspberry apricot ginger water is a chilled fruit-and-ginger infusion that takes 2 hours 10 minutes in total and yields about 4 servings of 1 cup (240 mL) each.

What is raspberry apricot ginger water?

Raspberry apricot ginger water is plain water flavored with fresh raspberries, sliced apricot and ginger. The fruit gives it a lightly sweet, tart taste, while ginger adds a gentle warmth without making the drink hot.

It belongs to the family of berry infused water recipes. Its flavor is subtle rather than juice-like, and it contains no added sugar unless you choose to add some.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Infusion time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Yield: About 4 servings, roughly 1 cup (240 mL) each

• Water: 1 liter (about 4¼ cups), chilled
• Fresh raspberries: 75 g (about ⅔ cup)
• Fresh apricot: 75 g (about ½ cup sliced), approximately 1 medium apricot
• Fresh ginger: 10 g (about 2 tablespoons thinly sliced), approximately a 1-inch piece

This ratio uses approximately 150 g of fruit per liter of water, plus a small piece of ginger. Actual yield can vary slightly depending on how much water remains with the fruit after straining.

Choose a ripe but firm apricot for a fragrant infusion that is easy to slice. A clean, covered pitcher with room for the fruit works well; you can also divide the ingredients between clean jars.

How do you make raspberry apricot ginger water?

1. Wash the raspberries, apricot and ginger under running water. Gently drain the raspberries.
2. Slice the apricot, discarding the pit. Thinly slice the ginger.
3. Add the fruit and ginger to a clean pitcher, then pour in the chilled water.
4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2 hours. For a stronger flavor, continue steeping for up to 4 hours.
5. Strain the water if you prefer, or leave the fruit in the pitcher. Serve chilled, with ice if desired.

Why do raspberry, apricot and ginger pair well?

Flavor

Raspberry brings a bright, slightly tart berry flavor. Apricot softens that tartness with a mellow, fruity note, while ginger gives the finish a little spice. Compared with raspberry infused water, this combination has a rounder fruit flavor.

Slicing the apricot exposes more of its flesh to the water without turning it into a purée. For a simpler stone-fruit flavor, try apricot infused water; for a more pronounced spicy note, see ginger water.

Hydration and nutrition

The main benefit of raspberry apricot ginger water is that it provides water. Its flavor may make plain water more appealing, but there is no evidence that this particular recipe treats a condition or detoxifies the body.

The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. Drinking enough water supports normal hydration and organ function; it does not flush toxins on its own.

Whole raspberries provide fiber, and whole apricots provide vitamin A. The amounts that pass into steeped water are not established, so the drink should not be counted as nutritionally equivalent to eating the fruit. Eating the safely stored fruit adds its nutrients and calories.

How should you store raspberry apricot ginger water?

Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated. Drink the infusion within 24 hours for the best flavor, and discard any remaining water after 2 days, or sooner if it becomes cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling.

Refrigerate it promptly after mixing rather than leaving it out at room temperature. If you strain out the fruit, keep the water refrigerated and follow the same storage timeline; straining does not restart the clock.

How can you vary raspberry apricot ginger water?

Make it milder

Use fewer ginger slices if you want the fruit to stand out. You can also strain the infusion after 2 hours rather than letting it steep longer.

Make it fruitier

Lightly press a few raspberries against the side of the pitcher before adding the water. This releases more flavor and color, but it can also make the drink cloudier and add more of the fruit’s calories.

Adjust the balance

Use a little more apricot and fewer raspberries for a softer flavor, or reverse the proportions for a tarter drink. Keep the total fruit close to the original amount so there is still enough water to infuse.

Serve over ice

Pour the chilled infusion over ice just before serving. Ice will gradually dilute the flavor, so use less if you prefer a stronger-tasting glass.
