Homemade Raspberry Mint Lemonade Recipe

Sharing is caring!

I have three different ways to make this Homemade Raspberry Mint Lemonade recipe. If you are watching your calorie intake you will want the Skinny Homemade Raspberry Mint Lemonade Recipe or it you want a twist, you can make it into a Hard Raspberry Mint Lemonade too!  Be sure to check out all of our homemade lemonade recipes here.

Homemade Raspberry Mint Lemonade Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup raspberries
• mint leaves
• 3 cups cold water
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 6 cups of ice cubes

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 0 minutes

Yield: 6 cups

Instructions for the Homemade Raspberry Mint Lemonade Recipe:

1. Start by squeezing out the juice of your fresh lemons using a lemon squeezer
2. Next, start to puree the raspberries and 2 teaspoons of mint. Then pour the contents in a strainer.
3. In a sauce pan, add the sugar and a 1/2 cup of water heating in on medium heat until the sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes or so). This will be the base of your lemonade.
4. Remove it from the heat.
5. Stir in the other 3 cups of cold water and the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
6. Divide the ice between 12 glasses and add a few spoonfuls of puree first, then top with the lemonade. Gently stir it before serving.

Voila! That’s it!

TIP #1: I like to sugar coated the rim of each glass with colored sugar crystals.

Tip #2: If you are not getting the color you desire for your drink, simple add some food coloring! I like the Wilton food colors because they are vibrant!

Skinny Raspberry Mint Lemonade:

When I am trying to watch my calorie intake I use a different method for making this recipe. There are all different kinds of Raspberry and Lemon Liquid drink mixes that have no calories (or have very few calories). I use these mixes to create a Raspberry Mint Lemonade drink and serve it with ice. Perfect for those wanting a “skinny” lemonade recipe.

Hard Raspberry Mint Lemonade:

Simple add any alcohol you want to either above recipe to create your favorite hard lemonade drink.
