How To Make Blackberry Lemonade
What you will need:
- 1 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice – about 5 whole lemons
- One cup of sugar (you can add more if you like it more sweet)
- A cup fresh ripe blackberries
- 6 cups of water; divided
In a small sauce pan, add the sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and allow the sugar to dissolve. Set aside to cool.
Place blackberries in a blender, add the lemon juice and blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds *This is optional
Add the blackberry lemon mixture to a large pitcher, add in the simple syrup and top off with the remaining water. Stir and chill.
Serve over ice with a slice of lemon for a great mocktail – or try adding a couple of ounces of premium Vodka to it for a great adult drink.
Enjoy!

My kids loved this blackberry lemonade.
So much so that I made Popsicle out of them and added some fresh berries to the molds.
It’s a great way to kick back and chill.

This looks so delicious. I think my family would love it. I have been getting a lot of blackberries from our CSA and have been wondering what to do with them. I think I just found the perfect recipe.
A great drink for a baby shower or as a wedding cocktail when spiked with vodka!
So good with vodka!
