Description
This triple berry lemonade is a refreshing drink that combines the sweetness of strawberries, tartness of raspberries, and depth of blueberries, perfect for hot summer days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons, depending on size)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Start by preparing your berries. Rinse the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries under cold water. Hull and slice the strawberries.
- In a blender, add the sliced strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- If you prefer a smoother lemonade, pour the blended berry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher, pressing with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible. If you don’t mind a bit of pulp, you can skip this step!
- Next, squeeze your lemons to get 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. You can use a juicer or do it by hand—just be sure to remove any seeds.
- Add the lemon juice and sugar to the pitcher with the berry juice. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour in the 4 cups of cold water and mix until well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour, or serve immediately over ice.
- When ready to serve, fill a glass with ice and pour the chilled triple berry lemonade over it. Garnish with lemon slices or additional berries if you like!
