Raspberry Lemonade
Description
so sweet and red and just a bit thick from the raspberry purée.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Instructions
Heat the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring often, in a small saucepan until the sugar has completely dissolved to make a simple syrup.
Puree the raspberries in a blender or food processor and pour in the simple syrup and lemon juice.
Add extra water (or Sprite, if you want it fizzy ) to thin it out to the consistency and flavor that you like.
Run a lemon slice around the rim of your glass, dip the glass in sugar, and serve with ice.
Notes
I've made this a few times since I first saw the recipe.
The first time I just drank it as is, without adding any extra water or other liquid (it was thick and delicious and what you see in the above photos), but the second time I added in some vodka.
At 2pm on a Sunday afternoon. There is no rule written anywhere that says I can’t drink in the middle of the day.
Quit judging me.
The third time I made this I added an equal amount of Sprite to the lemonade. It was really fun and fizzy and a bit like a raspberry limeade.
Whichever way you make this, it’s a perfect drink for summer. Cool, refreshing, and pretty to look at.
