If you love the taste of blackberry, also try our blackberry lavender soda and blackberry mojito. Using just four ingredients, it’s simple to make and ready in less time than it would take to go to the store and buy some. With its purple hues, kids will love it too. You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sugar or swapping the sugar for honey. If you love it, double or triple the blackberry sugar water mixture and store it in the fridge so all you have to do is pour. It’s a crowd-pleasing summery recipe for any occasion!
Blackberries – fresh berries are best for this recipe, but frozen works in a pinch. Sugar – granulated sugar makes a sweet blackberry mixture. Water – some for dissolving the sugar, and some for pouring into the pitcher. Lemon juice – fresh lemon juice will give the lemonade its bright, tart taste.
Try adding herbs like thyme, lavender, or mint – add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or culinary lavender for a lovely herbaceous twist. If using fresh mint, add the leaves to the pitcher at the final step. Use honey instead of sugar – if you prefer a natural sweetener, use an equal amount of honey in place of the sugar. Make it a cocktail – turn this mocktail into a blackberry lemonade cocktail by adding spirits like bourbon or vodka. Add some fizz with a splash of sparkling water to top things off. For a larger batch, double or triple the blackberry syrup and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Swap the berries and make a blueberry lemonade.
Enjoy it with your favorite snacks. We love it with pesto popcorn, easy chip dip or edamame hummus, and crunchy veggies.
