Ingredients

  • 4 cup water, divided
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp blue raspberry syrup
  • 1 cup lemon juice, fresh or bottled
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 small lemon, sliced

Instructions

  • Make the syrup: In a small saucepan, mix 1 cup of water and the sugar. Stir it over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.
  • Combine the base: In a large pitcher, stir together your cooled syrup, blue raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and the rest of your water.
  • Add the chill: Add plenty of ice to the pitcher or your glasses and stir well.
  • Garnish: Add a slice of fresh lemon to the rim and serve it up cold.

Notes

  • Perfect Dissolving: Stir the sugar and water over heat until the mixture is clear to avoid any gritty sugar in your drink.
  • Maximum Refreshment: Chill all your ingredients in the fridge before mixing for a colder, more refreshing lemonade.
  • Avoid Dilution: Add fresh ice to your individual glasses right before serving, rather than into the main pitcher, to keep the flavor strong.
  • Simple Adjustments: If you prefer a less sweet drink, simply add a bit more water to your mixture.
