Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 46 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup blue raspberry syrup
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups cold water or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon Juice: Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them, then cut and juice them until you have about one cup of fresh lemon juice. Be sure to remove all seeds to keep the lemonade smooth.
  2. Mix the Sugar and Syrup: In a large pitcher, combine the granulated sugar and blue raspberry syrup. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves to ensure your lemonade is evenly sweet and flavorful.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher. Slowly pour in cold water or sparkling water while stirring gently to blend all ingredients uniformly.
  4. Chill and Serve: Add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher or directly into individual glasses before pouring the Blue Raspberry Lemonade. Stir once more to maintain balanced flavors and a refreshing temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the brightest and most natural lemon flavor.
  • Dissolve sugar first by mixing it in a small amount of warm water to avoid any graininess.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by adding sugar or syrup little by little while tasting.
  • Keep pitcher, glasses, and water chilled beforehand for longer-lasting refreshment.
  • Garnish with lemon slices, fresh raspberries, or mint sprigs to enhance flavor and appearance.
