About The Recipe
There is nothing that I love more than a glass of lemonade. Classic, frozen, flavored… whatever! It’s the perfect way to cool down on hot summer days.
This lemonade was actually inspired by that love + a need to use up some raspberries I found in the back of the refrigerator. It truly is a perfect match!
A mix of sour lemon, sweet fresh raspberries, and some simple syrup? It’s SO easy.
As a kid, I would always get the little lemonade packets in the grocery store and mix it into a bottle of water. Sure, it was good… but what was I really drinking? To this day, I still have no clue!
And, every once in a while, I’ll definitely get a craving for raspberry lemonade. This is the perfect remedy!
A delicious mix of fresh ingredients so you ALWAYS know whats in your drink, served over ice, makes the best drink for summer.
If you’re looking for a way to mix things up, try adding your favorite alcohol (vodka, tequila, bourbon, etc).
