Don’t settle for pink lemonade, try something blue this summer. Blue lemonade is made with blueberries and blackberries, no artificial colors of flavors here.
It’s like regular lemonade made different, you will love this take on the classic drink.
If you want to keep it simple, just add frozen blueberries to your lemonade to add a hint of color and lots of blueberry flavor, the color will be more like this below.
Be different and enjoy!

Best to use a container that fits at least 6 cups water
How much does it make?
It says to use 4 cups of water. Wondering what size container to use?

I made this for my sister-in-law’s baby shower (it’s a boy!), and got plenty of compliments on how tasty it was! I followed the recipe exactly, and it was actually a shade of red-purple. (We strained it, too, to make sure.) Not sure if the specific variety of lemon/berries makes a difference.
Glad it was tasty, how did yours look different? Would love to see a photo.
This was delicious, but the image was very misleading.
