Description
This Strawberry Blueberry Lemonade blends sweet ripe strawberries and juicy blueberries with bright fresh lemon into a rich, deep-colored lemonade packed with antioxidants and bold berry flavor in every single sip. The blueberries add a jammy, mellow sweetness that balances the sharp lemon beautifully. You need just ten minutes to make this stunning, nutrient-rich berry lemonade.
Ingredients
1.5 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
3 cups cold water
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh blueberries and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
1. Add fresh strawberries and blueberries into a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth.
2. Strain the berry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher and discard all solids.
3. Pour in fresh lemon juice and add lemon zest.
4. Add honey or simple syrup and cold water.
5. Stir everything together until well combined.
6. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as needed.
7. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the ice, garnish with fresh blueberries and serve immediately.
Notes
Frozen blueberries work perfectly here and often give a deeper and more concentrated berry flavor.
Strain the blended berry puree well for the smoothest and most polished lemonade texture.
The deep purple-pink color of this lemonade looks stunning served in clear tall glasses.
Fresh lemon juice is essential — bottled juice dulls the natural berry flavors significantly.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as separation occurs naturally.
