Description

Ingredients

For The Lemonade

4 large Fresh Lemons (For Juicing)
6 tbsp Blue Raspberry Syrup
4 tbsp Granulated Sugar
4 cup Cold Water
2 cup Ice Cubes

For Garnish (Optional)

Lemon Slices
Fresh Blueberries
Fresh Mint Leaves

Instructions

1
Juice The Lemons
Cut the lemons in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and excess pulp, collecting about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice in a bowl or measuring cup. Set aside.
2
Mix The Lemonade Base
Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into a glass pitcher. Add the granulated sugar and blue raspberry syrup. Stir thoroughly with a stainless steel spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved and the syrup is evenly mixed with the lemon juice, creating a vibrant blue base.
3
Add Water And Ice
Pour the cold water into the pitcher with the blue raspberry lemonade base. Add the ice cubes directly into the pitcher. Stir gently with the same stainless steel spoon to chill and dilute the lemonade evenly. The vibrant blue lemonade should now be cold, refreshing, and ready for serving.
4
Garnish And Serve
Fill the matching serving glasses with the chilled blue raspberry lemonade from the pitcher, adding a few ice cubes to each glass. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon, a few fresh blueberries, and a mint sprig on top. Serve immediately while cold. For a festive touch, you can also skewer blueberries and a lemon wheel as a garnish for the rim.

Note

- Adjust Sweetness: Taste before serving and add more sugar or syrup if you prefer a sweeter lemonade, or dilute with extra water for a milder flavour.

- Fresh Lemons Are Best: Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest, freshest flavour.

- Natural Blue Option: For a natural blue colour, you can steep dried butterfly pea flowers in hot water, then strain and add them to the lemonade. The flavour will be less sweet than syrup but visually stunning.

- Storage: Store leftover lemonade in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving, as separation may occur.

- Make-Ahead: Prepare the lemonade base and refrigerate it. Add ice and garnishes just before serving to keep flavours crisp and the colour bright.
