Tips for Making Blueberry Lemonade
- Be sure to strain the blueberry syrup before stirring it into the lemonade mixture. Straining the syrup removes any chunks or pieces of skin that haven’t broken down.
- You MUST use freshly squeezed lemon juice for this blueberry lemonade recipe. The bottled stuff doesn’t taste as fresh.
- I bet you could also serve this fresh lemonade over a mixture of frozen blueberries and ice. It’d be a cute way to let guests know what makes the lemonade such a fun color!
Recipe Variations to Try
This is a super simple lemonade recipe, so feel free to customize it to your liking. Here are a few ways to jazz up this blueberry lemonade recipe:
- Add rum or vodka: Flavored or regular vodka would work well to make an adult-only beverage.
- Add lavender: Be careful not to add too much, as it’s a potent ingredient.
- Add fresh herbs: Fresh basil or mint work well in lemonade.
- Use different berries: I love pairing sweet blueberries with tart lemonade, but pretty much any berry or berry blend will work.
- Use Meyer lemons: They’re similar to regular lemons, but add a slightly different flavor profile to your lemonade.
