Ingredients
- 6 cups cold water
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ⅓ - ½ cup blue raspberry syrup
Instructions
- Add water, sugar, and lemonade to a large drink pitcher. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add ⅓ - ½ cup blue raspberry syrup depending upon desired sweetness.
- Chill for 30 minutes or longer before serving.
- When serving, add ice and sliced lemons to the drink pitcher for styling.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: This lemonade can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. I recommend covering the top of the pitcher with plastic wrap if your pitcher does not have a lid.
- You can use store bought lemon juice if needed. If you do squeeze your own lemons, be sure to remove any seeds or pulp.
- Adding more syrup will increase the lemonade sweetness and the shade of blue.
- This recipe uses round ice balls!
- In order to get the most juice from your lemons, make sure they’re at room temperature (or microwave them for about 15 seconds before juicing).
