Ingredients

Scale

Blue Raspberry Lemonade Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 46 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup blue raspberry syrup
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 1 cup ice
  • lemon slices for garnish (optional)
  • fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
  • fresh mint for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine citrus and syrup: In a large pitcher, whisk together the lemon juice, blue raspberry syrup, and granulated sugar until the sugar is mostly dissolved to create a balanced base of tart and sweet flavors.
  2. Add water and mix: Stir in the cold water thoroughly to dilute the mix to a refreshing consistency, ensuring the flavors meld perfectly.
  3. Incorporate ice: Add ice cubes either into the pitcher or directly into individual glasses to chill the lemonade immediately.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness: Sample the lemonade and if desired, add more blue raspberry syrup or sugar to achieve your preferred sweetness level.
  5. Chill before serving: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill further if time allows, intensifying the refreshing effect.
  6. Serve and garnish: Pour the lemonade into glasses and garnish with lemon slices, fresh raspberries, or mint for an attractive presentation and added freshness. Serve cold.

Notes

  • You can use either store-bought or homemade blue raspberry syrup depending on availability and preference.
  • For a sparkling twist, substitute half the cold water with club soda or lemon-lime soda for fizz and extra flavor.
  • This drink is ideal for parties, barbecues, and summer gatherings due to its vibrant color and refreshing taste.
