I live near a grocery store with amazing produce deals, and every so often, I score a whole crate of raspberries for the price of one container. It’s always more than we can eat—even with berry cheesecake salad—so I started making this raspberry lemonade.

After some experimenting (and lots of snacking), I landed on a version I now make year-round. It’s refreshing, fruity, and a big favorite around here!

Ingredients

• Fresh Lemon: Skip bottled juice. You’ll need about 6–7 lemons for 1 cup.
• Raspberries: Use fresh, in-season berries. Frozen works too—just let them thaw a bit.
• Sugar: Sweetens and balances the tart lemon.
• Cold Water: Dilutes the mix to the right strength. Add gradually and taste as you go.
• Salt: A tiny pinch boosts the sweetness and balances the flavors.

How To Make Raspberry Lemonade

1. Blend: Mix lemon juice, sugar, raspberries, and salt in a blender until smooth.
2. Strain: Pour through a strainer into a pitcher. Use a spoon to press out as much juice.
3. Chill: Stick it in the fridge for about an hour, or in the freezer for 15–20 mins to cool.
4. Water: Mix in 4 cups of cold water. Taste and adjust. You can also try sparkling water.
