Homemade Blue Lemonade Recipe

Course: Drinks
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 37kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup blackberries or 1/2 cup of blueberries
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 6 cups of ice cubes

Instructions

  • Start by squeezing out the juice of your fresh lemons using a lemon squeezer.
  • Next, start to puree the blueberries and blackberries and pour the contents into a strainer when done.
  • 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.
  • Remove it from the heat.
  • Stir in the other 3 cups of cold water and the freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Notes

TIP #1: In my photo I 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!Divide the ice between 12 glasses and add a few spoonfuls of puree first, then top with the lemonade. Gently stir it before serving.
