Description
Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade is a refreshing mocktail, perfect for hot summer days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (24 oz.) sparkling water (see notes)
- 1 cup (8 oz.) lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups blueberry simple syrup (recipe below)
Instructions
Start with chilled ingredients.
In the bottom of a pitcher, mix the lemon juice and blueberry simple syrup until combined. Pour in the sparkling water, stir to mix thoroughly, and serve immediately over ice.
Notes
- For the best results, make sure all of the ingredients are thoroughly chilled before serving.
- Save the blueberries from the simple syrup. They make a lovely garnish for the lemonade, or can be spread over pancakes, waffles, or toast like a compote.
- You may wish to adjust the amounts of blueberry syrup and lemon juice to your tastes.
- While you can mix the lemonade in a pitcher, you can also place some of the combined blueberry syrup and lemon juice in the bottom of each glass, then pour the water over it.
- While the recipe calls for sparkling or seltzer water, you can absolutely replace it with the same amount of still filtered water.
