A vibrant twist on classic lemonade with the tangy sweetness of blue raspberry, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 68 lemons)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 1/4 cup blue raspberry syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices for garnish
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut your lemons in half. Use a juicer to extract the juice until you have about 1 cup (240 ml). Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (200 g) of sugar and 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and 4 cups (960 ml) of cold water. Stir well to combine.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of blue raspberry syrup and stir until fully mixed. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup or lemon juice as needed.
  5. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes. Add lemon slices, fresh raspberries, and mint leaves for garnish. Give it another gentle stir.
  6. Pour the blue raspberry lemonade into glasses filled with ice. Add extra garnishes if desired and serve with a straw.
