Raspberry Lemonade

This sweet and tangy, made from scratch, raspberry lemonade is so refreshing and delicious. Made with fresh raspberries, it’s the perfect treat to enjoy all summer long!

I love serving raspberry lemonade when we’re making Fall Off The Bone Ribs for a Summer BBQ with family and friends. Or mix up a batch of this refreshing drink and have your kids set up a Lemonade Stand in the neighborhood.

Simple Raspberry Lemonade

I have quite a thing for homemade lemonade. When it’s hot outside, it’s the only thing I want to drink! It’s cold, refreshing, and so delicious. As much as I love a good classic lemonade recipe, this raspberry lemonade is over-the-top amazing! I just love that it’s made with both fresh lemons and raspberries which gives it the most amazing sweet and tangy flavor.

This raspberry lemonade is so incredibly delicious and super refreshing. The best part is that it’s super easy to make and only takes minutes to prepare. You can even make it in advance, which means you can whip it up at the beginning of the week and enjoy a fresh glass all week long.

How To Make Raspberry Lemonade

This raspberry lemonade starts with a delicious homemade raspberry sauce. It has only five ingredients and takes just a few minutes to make. As great as it is in this lemonade, it’s also delicious as a topping for waffles or ice cream (or just eating out of the jar with a spoon). The recipe makes enough for about eight servings, and you could easily double or triple it for a party.

Raspberry Sauce – First, you’ll need to make the sauce by adding the raspberries, lemon juice and sugar to a pan. Warm it up over medium heat until it begins to simmer. You’ll want to stir it occasionally to break up the raspberries.

Thicken It – Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and then add it to the pan with the raspberry mixture. Stir it in and let it cook for about 3 minutes until it thickens. Remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.

Lemonade – Place 1 cup of water and the sugar into a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves to it from burning. Once this has cooled, add the mixture to a large pitcher with the other 7 cups of water and the juice from the lemons.

Raspberry Lemonade – Add two tables of the raspberry sauce to each cup of lemonade and give it a good stir until it’s mixed together. Add ice and enjoy!
