Easy Raspberry Lemonade

A bright and refreshing drink that combines sweet raspberries and tart lemon juice for a perfect summer beverage.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1.5 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4–5 cups water

Instructions

  1. Add the raspberries, sugar and about half of the lemon juice to a blender to make a raspberry puree. Blend well.
  2. Strain the raspberry puree mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to press the mixture against the strainer and extract all the juices from the puree.
  3. Add remaining lemon juice and cold water to your bowl or pitcher and stir to combine.
  4. Serve in glasses over lots of ice and garnish with lemon slices and fresh raspberries.

Notes

For a lighter option, use sparkling water for half of the water. To make it diabetic-friendly, use a no-calorie sweetener.
