Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 large lemons) Use fresh, juicing lemons instead of bottled juice for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar You can swap this with honey or agave syrup for a healthier touch!
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries Opt for organic raspberries if possible—they're often plumper and tastier!
  • 1/2 cup water Feel free to adjust the water content depending on how concentrated you like your drink!
  • 3 cups ice cubes Using crushed ice will give a delightful slushy texture!
Garnishes
  • Lemon slices Add these for an elegant touch; they also make a perfect stirrer!
  • Frozen raspberries These not only look beautiful but help keep your drink cool!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries, and 1/2 cup of water. Puree until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved—this usually takes about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 3 cups of ice to the blender. Blend again until smooth, ensuring the mixture takes on a delightful, slushy consistency.
  3. Pour your stunning raspberry lemonade into glasses and garnish with luscious lemon slices and a few frozen raspberries for that extra flair.
  4. Take a quick sip! If it needs a little more sweetness, add more sugar, blend, and taste again.

Notes

Choose quality ingredients for the best flavor. Store any leftover raspberry lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
